The moshav was established in 1949 by demobilised Palmach soldiers of the Harel Brigade, and was initially called Bnei Harel. In 1950, representatives of the Jewish Agency proposed changing the name to Kfar Truman, in honor of U.S. president Harry S. Truman, who had supported the establishment of the State of Israel. In return, the moshav was promised official recognition, thereby entitling it to services such as roads, running water and electricity. The forest alongside Kfar Truman was renamed for Margaret Truman, daughter of the president.
Kfar Truman was built on land which had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Bayt Nabala.
