Located on a mountain ridge overlooking the Jordan Valley and accessible via the Allon Road, it falls under the municipal jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council.

[2] Kokhav HaShahar was founded by nine young couples in 1979 on the site of an Israel Defense Forces outpost[citation needed] According to the Palestinian NGO ARIJ, Israel confiscated land from two villages in order to build Kokhav HaShahar: Near Kokhav HaShahar is a site of one of many quarries operated by Israeli companies in the West Bank.

Yesh Din legal counsel Michael Sfard said that "according to international law, so long as the West Bank is not annexed to Israel, it is forbidden for Israel to exploit the natural resources there for non-security related purposes."
