History
The moshav was founded in 1949 by immigrants from Czechoslovakia. According to Benny Morris, it is situated close to the depopulated Arab village of Ayn Ghazal, but Walid Khalidi writes that it is not on Ayn Ghazal land, but that Ein Ayala was founded on land belonging to Kafr Lam, and cultivated land adjacent to Khirbat al-Sawamir.
Today the moshav's main source of income is farming, mainly vegetables and fruit, although many residents work in nearby Haifa.
