Gennesaret ("a garden of riches") was a town of Naphtali, called "Chinnereth" (Joshua 19:35), sometimes in the plural form "Chinneroth" (Joshua 11:2). In later times the name was gradually changed to Genezareth, Genezar and Gennesaret (Luke 5:1). This city stood on the northwestern shore of the lake to which it gave its name. No trace of it remains. It is the namesake of the "Plain of Gennesaret" has been called, from its fertility and beauty, “the Paradise of Galilee.” It is now called el-Ghuweir.

The Plain of Gennesaret is a fertile, crescent-shaped plain on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee.
The Plain of Gennesaret is clearly visible from the Sower’s Cove, where Jesus told the parable of the sower.
Of all the areas surrounding the Sea of Galilee, this small plain was the most fertile, giving rise to the possibility that Jesus may have been referring to it as an example of the "good soil" in His parable (Matt 13:3-8; Mark 4:3-9; Luke 8:5-8).
