History
The village was founded in 1949 by a group of demobilized soldiers on part of the lands of the depopulated Arab village of al-Bassa. It was originally called Tzahal,[2][3] but was later renamed "Liman" to honor the American senator Herbert H. Lehman.
The Liman Nature Reserve is located about 1 km (1 mi) north of the settlement, an area of about 50 dunams on a section of the gravel ridge that was preserved.
A 3rd century painted tomb from the Roman period was discovered in the fields of Liman in 1994–1995. The tomb contained two skeletons, bottles, coins and pottery.[4]
