History

The village was established in 1980 by members of families from local moshavim, assisted by the Jewish Agency. Its name is derived from nearby Goren.[1] The land the village was build on had previously belonged to the Arab village of Iqrit, which was depopulated by the Israel Defense Forces during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.[2]

It was originally designed to be a municipal center for municipal government offices and regional healthcare center. In addition, many public facilities were planned to be constructed there, such as a sport center, elementary school and a community center.
