The village was established in 1998 as a collaboration between the private sector and Jezreel Valley Regional Council.[2] It was named after the biblical figure of Barak (Judges 4:6), who defeated the army of Jabin, king of Hazor, in the Jezreel Valley.[3] It has absorbed several immigrants from South America.
