The village was established in 1949 by Hashomer Hatzair, who had immigrated from Czechoslovakia, and was named after Haviva Reik. In 1951, it moved three kilometres east to its present location onto land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian Arab village of al-Jalama.[2] Sde Yitzhak was founded on the former site the following year.
