History
It was founded in 1974 by computer science graduates from the Technion on the land where the Arab village of Mi'ar existed until 1947 and the independence of Israel.[2]
According to Walid Khalidi, Ya'ad was established in 1975 on land near the Palestinian village of Mi'ar, which had been depopulated in 1948. Ya'ad was established north-east of the village site.[3]
