History
The moshav was founded in 1949 by refugees from Poland and Romania on the land belonging to the depopulated Palestinian village of Qastina, and was named for two brothers, Zvi and Efraim Guber, sons of Mordecai and Rivka Guber, from the nearby moshav of Kfar Warburg, who were killed during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.
Notable natives of Kfar Ahim include Benjamin Gantz, Israel's Chief of the General Staff, and Knesset member and the current Minister of Transport, Yisrael Katz.
