History
The moshav was founded in 1933 by Jewish immigrants from Lithuania and Poland, and was named after Alexander Jannaeus (known in Hebrew as Alexander Yanai) the Hasmonean king. There were several Americans among the original settlers.[1]
A jetty, built in 1938 for unloading cargo, is located to the north of the moshav.[2] The Altalena was anchored there, and it was used for exporting citrus fruits.
It later absorbed more immigrants from South Africa. By 1947 it had over 100 residents.[1]
