History

The kibbutz was established in 1951 by Hashomer Hatzair members from Hungary and took[1] its name from the Biblical city of Dvir (Joshua 21:15) that was located in the area. The original residents were joined by immigrants from South America.

A member of the kibbutz, Yitzhak Mintz, developed the QText word processing program in 1988 which was one of the first to handle the Hebrew language.[2]
