==History== Prazon was founded in 1953 by Jewish immigrants to Israel from Kurdistan who had arrived in Israel in the early 1950s. Prazon was the second settlement in the Ta'anakh, following the founding of nearby Avital earlier that year. Many spent their first years in Israel at the Megiddo ma'abara (transit camp) before moving to the new moshav in 1953. In total about 60 families formed the core of Prazon’s original community.
