Located in the Galilee Panhandle between Metula and Kiryat Shmona, it is at the border with Lebanon[2] and falls under the jurisdiction of Mevo'ot HaHermon Regional Council.

[1] The moshav was founded in 1953 by evacuees from the Old City of Jerusalem who originally arrived from Kurdistan on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Abil al-Qamh.

[6][7] The main economic branches of the moshav, as of June 2004, are a chicken coop and plantations of avocado, apples, plums and oranges.

[2] Later, the moshav also relied on tourism from Israelis, and it became one of the leading places for village-style hospitality in northern Israel.

[8] During the 2023 conflict between Hamas and Israel, northern Israeli border communities, including Yuval, faced targeted attacks by Hezbollah and Palestinian factions based in Lebanon, and were largely evacuated.
