History

The kibbutz was established in 1951 by Hashomer Hatzair members from Hungary and took its name from the Biblical city of Dvir (Joshua 21:15) that was located in the area. The original residents were joined by immigrants from South America.

A member of the kibbutz, Yitzhak Mintz, developed the QText word processing program in 1988 which was the first to handle the Hebrew language.[2]

gollark: There are too many goods produced for individuals to practically go around voting on what the outputs of the economy should be, so at best they can vote on a summary which someone will turn into a full thing.
gollark: Also, you need to somehow decide on what should be produced.
