History
Transhumance shaped settlement in the Golan for centuries because of its harsh winters. The winters "forced tribespeople until the 19th century to live in hundreds of rudimentary 'winter villages' in their tribal territory. Starting in the second part of the 19th century, settlement in villages like Ghadir al-Bustan became "fixed and formed the nucleus of fully sedentary life in the 20th century Golan."
In 1884, American archaeologist Gottlieb Schumacher described Ghadir al-Bustan as a "deserted village" on the eastern bank of the Ruqqad river and the highest and northernmost point of the Golan proper with an elevation 583 meters (1,913 ft). Most of its huts were used as storehouses and a few were inhabited. Ruins were scattered around the site and there were numerous springs and untended gardens.
