History

[edit]

Givat Hen was founded in 1933 by immigrants from Lithuania, Poland and Russia and was part of the Settlement of the Thousand plan. They were later joined by immigrants from Germany.

The name of the moshav is based on the initials of Hayyim Nahman Bialik (HN), and the street names are based upon the names of poems he wrote.
