History
[edit]During the Ottoman period the area of Tzafria belonged to the nahiyeh (sub-district) of Lod.[2] The kibbutz is located near the depopulated Arab Palestinian village of al-Safiriyya.[3]
The kibbutz was founded in 1949 by immigrants from Czechoslovakia and Hungary.[3] Its name is derived from that of the former Arab village; it was initially called Safria Alef and then Kfar Tzafria before adopting its current name.[citation needed]
