[5] The newly restructured Jewish National Fund (JNF), working in concert with the Hitahdut HaIkarim agricultural organisation, settled new immigrants on the site in 1958, giving to the place the name Roglit (Hebrew: רוֹגְלִית), meaning "tiller [of the grapevine]".

Afterwards, the village economy was based on agriculture (citrus fruit) and poultry, which phased out in the late 1980s.

[6] The newer section had a regional elementary school which catered to children from the surrounding communities of Roglit, Aderet and Aviezer, but closed its doors in the early 1980s.

[citation needed] Today, the grounds of the old school serve as a home for the mentally and physically disabled.

The moshav has a mixed population with people of different ages, ethnic background and Jewish religious observance.
