History

The village was established in 1951 and was built by the Rassco company. Its name is taken from the Song of Songs 2:1; <blockquote>I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. (From modern Hebrew, this can also be translated as "lily of Sharon, a rose of the valleys".)</blockquote>

The neighbouring moshav Havatzelet HaSharon ("rose/lily of Sharon") is named after the first part of this verse.
