History

Mishmeret was founded in 1946 by demobilised soldiers from the British Army near the Arab village of Miska, which was depopulated in April 1948. During the 1948 Arab–Israeli War the community moved to Herut, and was re-established after the war on its present site.
The layout of Mishmeret follows a pattern widespread at the time of its establishment: Homes were built along both sides of the village roads with fields and farmyards behind each one. The Hebrew term is "kfar magevet”, denoting its elongated shape.
In March 2019, a house in the moshav was hit by a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip.

Today the moshav farms chickens, flowers, exports sweet potatoes and other vegetables.
In 2015, the Haaretz newspaper cited Mishmeret as an example of a "luxury" moshav.
