In 1862, Yoel Moshe Salomon moved his printing press to Nahalat Shiva and ran the business with Michael Hacohen. His first publication was a guidebook. The following year, the press published the country's first Hebrew newspaper, HaLevanon.[5] In 1873, milk cows were imported from Amsterdam and a dairy was opened in Nahalat Shiv'a. A carriage service to Jaffa Gate was inaugurated that summer.[6]
By 1875 there were 50 families in Nahalat Shiv'a.[3] In 1918, there were 861 people in Nahalat Shiv'a living and 253 houses.[3]
The Safrai Gallery was founded in Nahalat Shiv'a in 1935.[7][8]
