The settlement was established as a kibbutz after Israel occupied the area in the Six Day War in 1967.
[2] The second Israeli settlement established in the Golan after the 1967 Six-Day War, it was built on a Syrian military base called "Emrit Ez Edeen",[dubious – discuss] from which the Syrians had fired at the kibbutzim on the border (Ein Gev and HaOn).
In January 1968, several members of the surrounding kibbutzim gathered and decided to establish a new settlement in the area and in September had settled the ruins of the base.
The name of the settlement, meaning The Gateway of, or Approach to, the Hot Springs, referring to nearby Hamat Gader, was given to it by author Mattityahu Shalem.
