History
The village was established in 1940 by immigrants from Germany, members of the Maccabi HaTzair youth movement. It was named after the nearby Pi Matzuba known in antiquities, a place mentioned in the Tosefta (Shevi'it 4:8-ff.) and in the 3rd century Mosaic of Rehob.
After the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, it expanded on land belonging to the Palestinian village of al-Bassa, which was depopulated in that war.
Economy
Due to economic problems, the kibbutz textile factory closed down in 2003.
