History

The moshava was founded by a group of 17 families - most of them immigrants from Eastern Europe. Initially, it was basic and hard agriculture. In 1912, the first "Hashomer" organization was established in Moshava Kinneret. Throughout the 20th century, the moshava expanded from 17 families to 700 residents.
