History
The village was founded in 1966 as a rural centre for the surrounding moshavim (a rural centre was a form of settlement in the 1950s to early 1980s, intended as place for pooling means of production, providing services, and as a cultural centre for the agricultural settlements around it). In 1990, Erez expanded and became a community settlement. It houses religious facilities such as a mikvah and a synagogue.
