History

Until its depopulation in 1967, the site was occupied by the Syrian village of Qanaabé, which had about 480 inhabitants. The area was settled by Israelis in 1981 and was initially a Nahal settlement. However, the close distance to army regions as well as presence of landmines caused its abandonment at 1988. The modern settlement was founded in 1991 and was initially called 'Bruchim'. The first settlers there were immigrants from the Soviet Union. The current name was adopted in 1997. A new neighborhood was built in 2003, also known as Mazok Orvim.
