The District of al-Ramla

'Aqir

 Baron Edmond de Rothschild established the settlement of 'Eqron in 1883, 1 km south of the village site on land purchased by the settlers; it was later renamed Mazkeret Batya. The settlement of Qiryat 'Eqron was established in 1948 on village lands; its name was later changed to Kefar 'Eqron. A number of small houses remain, several of which are occupied by Jewish families.
