History

The moshav was founded though the Mishkei Herut Beitar settlement movement by Herut members from Haifa in 1950 on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Bashshit.[2][3]

It was named after Dov Gruner, a member of the Irgun who was executed by the British authorities. The founders were later joined by new immigrants from Iraq, Poland and the Soviet Union.[2]

gollark: I thought there was a way to do this but I forgot it; can you compile a single dependency with a higher optimization level?
