Giv'at Yeshayahu is a moshav established in 1958 by Zionist immigrants from Hungary, who were members of the Zionist youth movement. It was named after the scholar Yeshayahu Press and was built on the lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of ‘Ajjur.

In 2016, ancient Roman landmarks were relocated from Highway 38 to an archaeological park within the moshav of Giv'at Yeshayahu.

Surrounded by ancient wine presses and wineries, Giv'at Yeshayahu operates a facility for producing raisins, although most raisins in the area today are imported from California. As of 2017, the settlement had a population of 846 settlers.
