Etymology

The moshav takes its name from the Hellenistic Jewish city of Geba, which according to Josephus was situated in a large plain near Galilee and Mount Carmel.[1] It is also mentioned in Pliny the Elder's Natural History.[2]

History

Geva Carmel was established in 1949 by immigrants from Tunisia and Turkey, including Moshe Sardines, who later served as a member of the Knesset for Mapai. According to Walid Khalidi, it was built east of the village of al-Sarafand, named for and built on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Jaba', about 1/2 km northwest of the village site.[3][4]
