History

The moshav was founded in 1948 by immigrants from Bulgaria.[1]

It is located south of the ancient site of Tel Shalaf, where Iron Age artifacts have been found.[2] Tel Shalaf, is identified by some but not all scholars with the city of Eltekeh.[3] Eltekeh appeared in Sennacherib's Annals as the site of a battle between the Assyrians and Egyptians in 701 BCE, and in the Bible as a Levitical city within the first Dan tribal area (Script error: No such module "Bibleverse". and Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".).[3][4]
