History
The moshav was founded in 1950 by immigrants from Romania, and was initially called Yarkona BeHarhava (Hebrew: ירקונה בהרחבה, lit. Yarkona Expansion) and then renamed after Psalm 36:8(9):[2] "You give them drink from Your river of delights."
Adanim was founded on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Biyar 'Adas.[3]
