History

The village was established in 1982 by Hitahdut HaIkarim on land owned by the Jewish Agency, and was initially a community settlement. In 1993 it was merged with neighbouring Harish to form Katzir-Harish local council. However, in 2012 the two were separated, with Harish remaining a local council and Katzir reverting to the jurisdiction of Menashe Regional Council.
