History
The village was founded in 1932 by residents of other moshavim as part of the Settlement of the Thousand plan. Initially called Kfar HaVatikim (lit. Village of the Veterans), it was later renamed Neta'im, a name taken from 1 Chronicles 4:23;
These were the potters, and those that dwelt among plantations and hedges; there they dwelt occupied in the king's work.
