History
The village was established in 1916 as "Ein Hai" (lit. Fountain of the Living) and later renamed Kfar Malal after Moshe Leib Lilienblum (משה לייב לילינבלום), whose acronym in Hebrew is MLL (מל"ל). Lilienblum (1843–1910) was an early leader of the Hovevei Zion movement.
Former Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon, was born in Kfar Malal. The moshav receives its municipal services from the Drom HaSharon Regional Council.
In 2006, Malal Park Industries Ltd, co-owned by members of Kfar Malal, signed an agreement with the German bank Eurohypo AG to refinance Park Azorim in Kiryat Aryeh, Petah Tikva.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History takes time.... History makes memory.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of our era is the nauseating and repulsive history of the crucifixion of the procreative body for the glorification of the spirit.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
