History
The moshav was founded on 31 October 1939 by members of the "Menachem" organisation. It was named after Felix M. Warburg, one of the leaders of the Jewish community in the United States and a founder of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. It was founded on land that had traditionally belonged to the depopulated Arab village of Qastina.
Notable residents include Yigal Hurvitz, a former Minister of Finance, who was buried in the moshav.
