In July 1932 twelve members of
Hashomer Hatzair arrived at the settlement site allocated to them in the Hefer Valley and established the first hut. They fenced off the 1,000-dunam area—20 dunams per 50 families—that had been designated for them, dug a well, constructed a "water facility" on it, and plowed the sowing fields. In 1936, the settlers accepted the proposal of the
Government Naming Committee to name their community
Hogla. The moshav was founded by Jewish
immigrants from
Bulgarian,
Poland and
Russian. By 1939, the settlement had a population of 139 residents across 39 farms. ==References==
