History
Patish was established on 3 March 1950, and was named after the nearby Horvat Patish (Patish Ruins). To begin with, immigrants from Egypt were brought to settle the site. However, they refused to leave the truck which brought them to the site. After several trials, a group of Kurdish Jews settled in the moshav in May that year.
In March 1955 armed Palestinian fedayeen from the Gaza Strip attacked a wedding at the village with hand grenades; 24 guests were injured and one killed.{{cite book |last1=Dayan |first1=Moshe |title=Living with the Bible |isbn=0-297-77528-6 |publisher=Weidenfeld & Nicolson |location=London |year=1978 |page=80–81}}.
