History

The village was first established in 1950 by demobilised soldiers, but was later abandoned. It was re-established in 1955 by Rassco (the Rural and Suburban Settlement Company) and took in residents from all over the country. Its name is taken from the Book of Amos 9:14;

And I will turn the captivity of My people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

The Ganot interchange, a junction between Highway 1 and Highway 4, is located next to the moshav.
