Liman (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />לִימַן) is a moshav in the Western Galilee in northern Israel, located about 5 km (3 mi) north of Nahariya. It belongs to the Mateh Asher Regional Council and the Moshavim Movement.
History
Moshav Liman was founded in 1949 by a group of demobilized soldiers on part of the lands of the depopulated Palestinian Arab village of Al-Bassa. It was originally called Tzahal.[1][2] but renamed "Liman" to honor the American senator Herbert H. Lehman. In 2005 it had a population of about 500.[3] Its area is about 2400 dunams. Most residents work in agriculture, such as plantings and chicken raising.
The Liman Nature Reserve is located about 1 km (1 mi) north of the settlement, an area of about 50 dunams on a section of the gravel ridge that was preserved.
A 3rd century painted tomb from the Roman period was discovered in the fields of Liman in 1994/1995. The tomb contained two skeletons, bottles, coins and pottery.[4]
