History

The moshav was established in 1949 by immigrants from Bulgaria, and it was named after Samuel HaNagid.^[2] According to Benny Morris, the moshav is founded near the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Qubayba,^[3] however, Walid Khalidi writes that it is only near the al-Qubayba site and that Kfar HaNagid is located on the land which belonged to Yibna.^[4]
