History

The village was established in 1948 by a gar'in of youth from South Africa, Romania and Egypt from the youth movement HaNoar HaTzioni as a kibbutz on Shimron Hill in the Lower Galilee, in the area now covered by the community settlement of Timrat. It was named after a carving in the shape of a palm in the temple: 1 Kings 6:29. It was built on the land belonging to the depopulated Palestinian village of Tall al-Turmus. In 1953 it was reorganized as a moshav shitufi, one of the first in the country. In 1954 the settlement moved to its current location due to a shortage of land at its original site.
