History
The moshav was founded in 1950 by immigrants from Romania on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Biyar 'Adas. It was initially named Yarkona BeHarhava (Hebrew: ירקונה בהרחבה, lit. 'Yarkona Expansion') before being renamed after Psalm 36:8(9): "You give them drink from Your river of delights."
