History

According to ARIJ, in 1977 Israel confiscated 524 dunams of land from the Palestinian site of Nabi Musa in order to construct Almog.[2]

Initially established as a Nahal settlement in 1977, Almog became a kibbutz in 1979. It was named after Yehuda Kopolevitz Almog, a Third Aliyah pioneer who founded the potash mining industry which developed into the Dead Sea Works in Sodom.[3] In the 1930s, Almog was one of the founders of the nearby kibbutz Beit HaArava.Шаблон:Citation needed
