History
Jewish settlement began in the area in 1913 when Hashomer established Tel Adash, a settlement whose purpose was to defend the oil pipeline from Iraq to Haifa. By 1918, only two families remained. In 1923, a moshav was established on the site and was named Tel Adashim.
Notable past and present residents include Rafael Eitan, Gonen Segev, Yigal Cohen, A. D. Gordon and Alexander Zaïd.
