History

The village was founded in August 1948 by demobilised Irgun and Betar soldiers on the land of the depopulated Arab village of Khirbat Bayt Lid.[2][3] The founders came from two organisations; Margolim based in Kfar Yona and Wajwad based in Mishmar HaYarden.

In 1994 a new neighbourhood, Neot Nordia, was established.
