History

The village was initially founded by the Herut movement on 18 October 1950 by immigrants from Yemen, and was first named Allar-Bet, later to be called Ramat Shimon.[1] It was established on land belonging to the Palestinian village of Allar, which became depopulated during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. It is situated northeast of the Allar village site.[2]

The village was also called Eitanim, until residents eventually settled on the name Bar-Giora, after Simon Bar Giora. The Yemenite immigrants, dissatisfied with conditions in their new village, abandoned the village after a short stint of 2–3 years, and in 1954 the village was resettled by immigrants from Morocco.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
