אנדרטה בקריית עקרון לנופלים במערכות ישראל

קִרְיַת עֶקְרוֹן היא מועצה מקומית השוכנת דרומית-מזרחית לרחובות, סמוכה למזכרת בתיה ושייכת מנהלית למחוז המרכז של מדינת ישראל. המועצה שוכנת מזרחית לכביש 40. קריית עקרון נוסדה בשם כפר עקרון בסוף שנת 1948.

היסטוריה

שם

המועצה קרויה על שם העיר הפלשתית עקרון, ששמה השתמר כנראה בשם הכפר הערבי עאקיר, ואשר בתקופת התלמוד התקיימה כעיירה יהודית גדולה, על פי עדותו של אוסביוס.

הקמתה

קריית עקרון הוקמה ככפר עקרון בסוף שנת 1948 על חורבות הכפר הערבי עאקיר, ששכן במקום ונחרב במלחמת העצמאות. חצי שנה לאחר כיבוש הכפר עאקיר במאי 1948, בנובמבר 1948, החלו עולים להתיישב בבתיו הנטושים. רוב העולים הגיעו מבולגריה ומתימן, אך היו גם עולים ממדינות רבות אחרות. לאחר שכל הבתים נתמלאו הוקמו במקום, בשנת 1950, "מעברת עקיר" ו"מעברת גבעת ברנר" שקלטו את העולים שהגיעו ממדינות שונות. בשנת 1953 צורפה מעברת עקיר לכפר עקרון וב-1955 צורפה מעברת גבעת ברנר ליישוב. בשנת 1958 צורפה גם "עקיר החדשה".

בשנים 1954 עד 1961 השתייך כפר עקרון למועצה האזורית ברנר. בשנת 1961 התקיימו בחירות לוועד היישוב לקראת הפיכת היישוב למועצה מקומית, ולקראת סוף שנת 1961 הוכרז כמועצה מקומית. בעקבות סכסוכים על הרכב המועצה הממונה ובעקבות עתירה לבג"ץ, נקבעו בחירות למועצה שהתקיימו ביוני 1962.

רבה של קריית עקרון מ-1960 במשך שנים רבות היה הרב עובדיה יעבץ.

ב-1963 שונה שם המקום לקריית עקרון. במאי 1967 עלה הרעיון לספח את היישוב לרחובות, אולם בגלל התנגדות אנשי היישוב הדבר לא יצא אל הפועל.

בקריית עקרון מרכז מסחרי מהגדולים בישראל – "בילו סנטר", הנמצא על כביש 411, סמוך לצומת ביל"ו. מצדו השני של כביש 411 ממשיך להתפתח מרכז מסחרי בשם עקרון 2000, במקום שעד לפני שנים אחדות היו פרדסים. במרכז היישוב קיים המרכז המסחרי הישן, חלקו בבתים ישנים מאוד.

מול בתיה הדרומיים של קריית עקרון נמצא בסיס חיל האוויר תל נוף, ורעש המטוסים הממריאים ממנו נשמע היטב ביישוב.

שטח היישוב הורחב בספטמבר 1996 ל-2,500 דונם, כשבג"ץ החליט על החזרת שטח מרכז הקניות ביל"ו סנטר לקריית עקרון.

ב-2003 יזמה ממשלת ישראל תוכנית לאיחוד רשויות מקומיות מתוך שאיפה לייעל את השלטון המקומי. בין היתר הוצע לאחד את המועצה המקומית קריית עקרון עם עיריית רחובות. חלק מתושבי היישוב התגייסו למאבק, אשר כלל חתימות על עצומה, שלטי חוצות והפגנה בצומת בילו. בסופו של דבר נגנזה ההצעה וקריית עקרון שמרה על עצמאותה. בנוסף היו באותו זמן תושבים בקריית עקרון אשר ביקשו להתאחד עם מזכרת בתיה הסמוכה, הקטנה מקריית עקרון. ההצעה נתקלה בהתנגדות מצד מזכרת בתיה, ולא יצאה אל הפועל.

ביישוב יש 3 בתי ספר, 2 יסודיים ותיכון דתי לבנות "פלך", אליו מגיעות בנות מהיישוב, מרחובות, ממודיעין, מגדרה, ממזכרת בתיה, מלוד ומבית גמליאל.

בדצמבר 2021 אישרה שרת הפנים, איילת שקד, את המלצת הוועדה הגאוגרפית - להעביר 477 דונם מיישובי המועצה האזורית גזר לטובת פיתוח קריית עקרון. בהחלטה נכתב בין היתר: "קריית עקרון מיצתה את עתודות הפיתוח שלה והוועדה שהוקמה לנושא מצאה כי יש בידי המועצה המקומית את היכולת לקלוט את תוספת האוכלוסייה המתוכננת תוך שמירה על רמת שירותים נאותה, תוך שמירה על ניהול כספי מאוזן".

בשנת 2025 החלה בניית מרכז תחבורה קריית עקרון, בנוסף על כך החלו העבודות על רובע שדות להרחבת קריית עקרון בצד הגובל עם מזכרת בתיה וגני יוחנן.

דמוגרפיה

לפי נתוני הלשכה המרכזית לסטטיסטיקה (הלמ"ס) נכון לסוף פברואר 2026 (אומדן), מתגוררים בקריית עקרון 11,225 תושבים, מתוכם 11,086 תושבי ישראל (מקום 169 בדירוג רשויות מקומיות בישראל).  שינוי בגודל האוכלוסייה ‎-0.5% בשנה‏. אחוז הזכאים לתעודת בגרות מבין תלמידי כיתות י"ב בשנת ה'תשפ"ג (2022-‏2023) היה 78.6%. השכר החודשי הממוצע של שכיר במשך שנת 2022 היה 9,627 ש"ח (ממוצע ארצי: 11,864 ש"ח).
