Etymology
The village was named after the Biblical mountain of Gaash, beside the grave of Joshuah in Ephraim (Joshuah 24:30).
History
The kibbutz was established on 5 July 1951 by a group of immigrants from South America who were members of the Latin America "A Group" of Hashomer Hatzair. The founders had defended Negba during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and had formed the kibbutz community at Ahli Kahsem near Bnei Zion in November 1949.
