It is mentioned in the Bible by this name, and in other period sources as Shim'on. In late antiquity, it was known by the name Simonias (Hebrew: סימונייה). The city is identified with Tell Samunia, also written Samunieh.Tel Shimron is located northeast of modern moshav Nahalal on the western edge of the Nazareth range, on the border between the Lower Galilee and the Jezreel Valley. Its location at the intersection of the lower Galilee ranges and the Jezreel Valley as well as its proximity to the Acco Plain made it and important part of trade routes through the area.
