History
The moshav was established in 1950 by immigrants from Yemen, after they had spent a few months living in Rosh HaAyin. The founders were joined by immigrants from North Africa in 1951. Its name is a Hebraized version of the Arabic name for the area.{{cite web|url=https://or1.org.il/settlments/%D7%92%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%9F/|title=גורן|website=Or Movement}}
It is located on the land that had belonged to the Palestinian village of Iqrit, as its inhabitants had been expelled.{{cite book|last1=Khalidi|first1=Walid|authorlink=Walid Khalidi|title=All That Remains: The Palestinian Villages Occupied and Depopulated by Israel in 1948|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_By7AAAAIAAJ |year=1992|location=Washington D.C.|publisher=Institute for Palestine Studies|ISBN=0-88728-224-5 |page=17}}
