Ganim was established near Janin and preserved the Biblical name of the Levite city Ein Ganim. It was established as a Nahal outpost and was naturalized a few months after its establishment in 1983. Ganim is located 5 km south east of the city of Jenin and became a secular community with a vibrant social life in the Shomron regional council of the National Worker Settlement Movement. From Ganim one can look out upon the beautiful view of the Dotan valley.
