Initiated as a citrus plantations farm (Havat Tel Mond) which was established by Israel Land Plantations Company headed by Alferd Mond, Lord of Melchet, a former British minister and the president of the British Zionist Federation. Inside the farm there was Skhunat HaPkidim (Clerks Neighborhood). In 1933 some of the farm workers purchased lands of the farm and established Moshav Tel Mond. Another group established Moshav Kefar Ziv in 1936 and new immigrants from Yemen established Skhunat Ya'aqov (Ya'aqov Neighborhood) in 1943. New neighborhoods were built for new immigrants in the early 1950' (Neve Oved and Hadar Hayyim) and in 1954 all of those communities were united into Local Council of Tel Mond.
