Located near Bnei Ayish and Gedera, it falls under the jurisdiction of Be'er Tuvia Regional Council.

[5] At first it was a temporary ma'abara to sixty immigrant families of Jewish Holocaust survivors from Poland,[4] serving as an expansion to the older moshav Bitzaron.

Since it was not an independent moshav, the future residents had to redeem the food coupons, supplied by the Agency, at Bitzaron centre.

The residents of Bitzaron were given favour as to the food supply, and thus many times had the inhabitants of the ma'abara to return empty-handed.

They have decided to cut themselves off from Bitzaron, and on 1950, only a short while after placing the ma'abara, Neve Mivtah was founded.
