History


Hukok, ca. 1950
Hukok, ca. 1950

In 1945, the Hukok fortress was built by Solel Boneh as a strategic settlement post and named after a biblical village (Joshua 19:34) in the north of Israel.[2] After the 1948 war, the fortress was used as an absorption center for new immigrants.[3]

The kibbutz was established in 1946 by graduates of the Mikveh Israel agricultural school and members of the HaNoar HaOved VeHaLomed youth movement.[4] It was near the Palestinian village of Yaquq and the site of the ancient village of Huqoq which was the supposed burial place of the prophet Habakkuk.[5] Yaquq was later depopulated in 1948.

Between 2002–2003, as part of a nationwide program, the kibbutz took in 76 immigrants (22 families) from Latin America, of whom 58 remained.[6]


Economy


In addition to agriculture, the kibbutz runs a plastics factory, Hukok Industries. The kibbutz operates a private beach on Lake Kinneret that was awarded a Blue Flag for environmental excellence in 2013.[7]
