Local Council Migdal (meaning tower) is named after
the old city of Migdala Nunia (which in Aramaic meant fish
tower) and is situated just west of the Sea of Galilee
(Kinnereth Sea) about 8 km north of Tiberias
on Tiberias-Rosh Pina road (Road 90, the longest road in Israel,
connecting Metula in the north and Eilat in the south). It was
founded in 1910 and has 1500 inh.
According to the Local Council, the unofficial flag is the
municipal emblem on a white field. Sources: letter from the Local
Council secretariat; map/information of the Local Council,

The modern history of this colony started with small group of
Catholic Germans who identified the site as the birth place of
Miriam Magdalen and settled here in 1908. They left after a year
and the land was bought by Zionists from Russia which founded the
agriculture farm Akhuzat Moskva (Moscow Estate) in 1910.
The farm was dissolved a few years later and the land was sold to
private investors and a new group settled in 1923–1924 from whom
this colony was evolved.
Local Council since 1949.
The emblem shows the Sea of Galilee (Kinnereth Sea) and a palm
tree.
