History
According to the Mishnah, the town of Hadid was encompassed by a wall before the Israelite conquest of Canaan under Joshua.The Mishnah, (ed.) Herbert Danby, Arakhin [https://archive.org/stream/DanbyMishnah#page/n581 9:6 (p. 553 - note 13)]
It is not mentioned in the list of the towns of Benjamin in {{bibleverse||Joshua|18:21-28|NRSV}} but it is named as a city of the tribe of Benjamin in the Second Temple period.Ezra 2,33; Nehemiah 11,34;Carta's Official Guide to Israel and Complete Gazetteer to all Sites in the Holy Land. (3rd edition 1993) Jerusalem, Carta, p.179, {{ISBN|965-220-186-3}}. In the Hellenistic era it was known as 'Adida; Simon Maccabeus was encamped there during his conflict with the Seleucid general Diodotus Tryphon.{{bibleverse|1|Maccabees|13:13|NRSV}}
During the 18th and 19th centuries, the area belonged to the Nahiyeh (sub-district) of Lod that encompassed the area of the present-day city of Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut in the south to the present-day city of El'ad in the north, and from the foothills in the east, through the Lod Valley to the outskirts of Jaffa in the west. This area was home to thousands of inhabitants in about 20 villages, who had at their disposal tens of thousands of hectares of prime agricultural land.{{Cite journal |last=Marom |first=Roy |date=2022 |title=Lydda Sub-District: Lydda and its countryside during the Ottoman period |url=https://www.academia.edu/79946175 |journal=Diospolis - City of God: Journal of the History, Archaeology and Heritage of Lod |volume=8 |pages=103–136}}
Modern Hadid was founded in 1949 as a kibbutz by Yemenite Jewish immigrants, later joined by immigrants from Romania. In 1950, it was reorganized as a moshav affiliated with the Hapoel HaMizrachi movement.{{Cite web |url=http://www.hadid.co.il/Moshav |title=Hadid website |access-date=2014-03-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150720235633/http://www.hadid.co.il/Moshav |archive-date=2015-07-20 |url-status=dead }} The site was about {{convert|2|km}} west of the former Palestinian village site and on the land of al-Haditha and the archaeological tel of ancient Hadid (Adida).Carta's Official Guide to Israel and Complete Gazetteer to all Sites in the Holy Land
