History
The kibbutz was founded in 1956, and was named after Yitzhak Dubno (nicknamed Yoav) who was killed whilst defending the nearby kibbutz of Negba during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.
Sde Yoav was founded on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Iraq Suwaydan.[2]
Today, like many kibbutzim, Sde Yoav is in the process of privatization.
