History
The moshav was founded on 31 October 1939 by members of the "Menachem" organisation. It was named after Felix M. Warburg, one of the leaders of the Jewish community in the United States and a founder of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC).[1]
In the early 1950s, after the population of Kfar Warburg doubled, a culture hall with a 880-seat auditorium was built at the crossroads of the agricultural town's three main roads. Plays by the Habima and Cameri theaters were performed there almost every week.[2]
