Givat Ada, named for Baron Edmond James de Rothschild's 's wife Adelaid (Ada), was established in 1903 by eight families from Zikhron Ya'akov. Givat Ada was established as an agricultural settlement. The main farming branches were field crops and vegetables, and later, grapes.

The area is home to both the Binyamina Winery, producers of 2.8 million bottles of wine annually, and the Tishbi Winery, founded by Yonathan Tishbi in 1985. Tishbi now produces one million bottles annually. Plans have been drawn up to build a 150-acre (0.61 km) wine park on the slopes between Binyamina and Zichron Ya'akov to promote wine tourism in Israel.

Transport

The busy Israel Railways Binyamina Railway Station is the last stop on the Binyamina-Tel Aviv suburban line and a transfer point on the Tel Aviv-Haifa intercity line which makes it a transportation hub for the area. A direct non-stop train from Binyamina reaches Tel Aviv or Haifa in 30 minutes.

Notable residents

Binyamina is the birthplace of the Israeli songwriter Ehud Manor, and is referenced in a number of his songs. It is also the birthplace of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Four-time Olympian and world-record-holder in shooting, Guy Starik, lives there.
