History

The village was first established in 1982 as a pioneer Nahal military outpost. In 1998, constraints of the Nahal brigade led to the village changing hands and being turned over hesder soldiers who volunteered for extra service to keep a residential presence on that hilltop. The soldiers renovated the area, built a beit midrash and eventually completed their army service and continued to raise families there.

On 25 September 2003, the night of Rosh Hashana, a Palestinian militant from Islamic Jihad killed two residents, including a 7-month-old baby girl, while the family was eating the festive holiday meal.[2]

Many of the adult residents work outside the village, though some entrepreneurs have begun some local small businesses. The children of Negohot travel to the 'Dvir' elementary school in Otniel. Negohot receives assistance from the Amana settlement organization.
