## History

Until depopulation in 1967, the place was occupied by the Syrian village of Qanaabé (Kana'beh), which had approximately 480 inhabitants. The area was settled by Israelis in 1981 and is initially Nahal settlement. However, the proximity of military areas and the presence of land mines caused it to be abandoned in 1988. The modern settlement was established in 1991 and was originally called "Bruchim" (Hebrew: ברוכים). The first settlers were immigrants from the 1990s from the Soviet Union. The current name was adopted in 1997. A new neighborhood was built in 2003, also known as Mazok Orvim (Hebrew: מצוק עורבים).
