Yavniel was founded in 1901 by the Jewish Colonization Association on land bought by Baron Rothschild, and is one of the oldest rural Jewish communities in Israel. It still has a core of working farmers.
Since 1986 it has also been home to a large Breslov community, about 400 families or around 30% of residents as of 2015, with its own schools and yeshiva.
