History
The community was founded in 1953 by Yemeni Jewish refugees on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Summil.[2] The founders had originally established moshav Agur in 1950.[3] Along with the neighboring Menuha, it was named for the Menuha VeNahala (Hebrew: מנוחה ונחלה) organization that founded Rehovot.
