History

The village was established in 1949 by immigrants from Yemen on land that had belonged to the Palestinian villages of Dayr al-Qassi and Al-Mansura, both depopulated in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.^[2]

It was named after the biblical city of Elkosh, the birthplace of prophet Nahum (Nahum 1:1), which may have been located in the area.^[3] The founders were later joined by more immigrants from Kurdistan.^[4]
