Rosh Pinna is a town of approximately 2,500 people located in the on the eastern slopes of Mount Kna'an.
The first modern Jewish settlement in the Galilee, Gei Oni, was founded in 1878 by Jews from Safed, some of whom were descended from Spanish Jews exiled in 1492. However it was abandoned after three years of drought. A year later, in 1882, a group of Romanian Jews built the first lasting settlement in the Galilee and named it Rosh Pinna. Then in 1884 Baron Edmond de Rothschild sponsored the settlement and made it the administrative center for his holdings.
