Etymology

The village was named after the numerous springs in the area, though other sources claim it is taken from Deuteronomy Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".; "For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths, springing forth in valleys and hills."[1] The Jewish National Fund wrote in 1949 that the name is derived from the Arabic.[2]

History

The foundation of the village began with the purchase of Script error: No such module "convert". of land by Ada Maimon as a girl's training farm[2] in 1926. The village was established on 30 March 1930, though no-one lived on the site until Maimon, ten girls and a guard moved in on 12 January 1932; until then they had lived in nearby Ness Ziona.[2]

During World War II, the village became an agricultural school and took in young Holocaust survivors who had succeeded in immigrating. Today it is home to a boarding school for 180 pupils. A few years ago, the agricultural school opened a miniature horse farm and one of its horses was a runner-up in the 2008 world championship for miniature horses.[3]

In 2010, the village celebrated its 80th anniversary.[3]
