The kibbutz was founded on 5 January 1937 by members of the Sadeh group from the Mikveh Israel agricultural school, as well as immigrants from Austria, Germany and Poland. It was the third kibbutz established as part of the tower and stockade settlement movement. Initially called "Kibbutz HaSadeh," it was later renamed in honour of Nahum Sokolov, a Hebrew writer and Zionist leader. Ruins of a 5th–6th century Byzantine church has been found in the kibbutz.

Economy

The main economic activity is agriculture but the kibbutz also has a factory for the manufacture of plastic materials and an elderly care facility.
