The moshav was established in 1949 on the land once part of the ancient roman city of Sepphoris, turned Arab town of Saffuriya[2][3] (partially depopulated during the 1948 independence war).
The moshav was established with the assistance of the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Moshavim Movement.[citation needed]
In the early 2000s an additional neighborhood was added.[citation needed]
