History
Regba was established in 1946 next to the Palestinian Arab villages of Al-Sumayriyya and Mazra'a, by a group of veterans of the British Army from Germany, the Netherlands and English speaking countries.[2] It was originally established as a kibbutz and became a moshav shitufi in 1949. The name is symbolic, as in "Regev" ("lump of earth").
