History
The moshav was founded in 1945 by demobilised soldiers from the British Army, and was named Mikhmoret due to the profession of many of the founders being fishers.

The moshav expanded onto lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of 'Arab al-Nufay'at, whose inhabitants were expelled by an order issued by the Haganah from 10 April 1948.

In 2012 Mikhmoret Beach was listed as one of the best beaches in Israel.

The Israel Nature and Parks Authority established the Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Moshav Mikhmoret.
