Etymology

The village name is a word combination meaning "lack of fear", al meaning "without", and magor meaning "fear".

History

The village was established in 1961 as a Nahal settlement and was built on land that had formerly belonged to the depopulated Palestinian villages of Al-Butayha and Arab al-Shamalina.[3] Prior to the foundation of the moshav, the area had been the site for the Battle of Tel Motila, a clash between Israel and Syria on 2 May 1951. Today a large memorial stands at the site.[4]

The village was converted to a civilian settlement in 1965.
