High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ramat Yishai is a local council in the North District of Israel, located on the side of the Haifa-Nazareth road about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) eastern to Kiryat Tivon. It was declared a local council in 1958. According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), it had a population of 5,700 in 2006, with a growth rate of 1.8%. The majority of the citizens of the village are Jewish. The land, on the western edge of the Jezreel Valley, which belonged to the village of Jida, was bought by a group of American Zionists in the early 20's. It was renamed Manor and then Yefe Nof, but was almost deserted after a few years.
