In 1925 a Zionist organisation purchased 30 feddans in Kiskis  (present Alonim) and Tabon (present Kiryat Tiv'on) from the Sursuk family of Beirut.
 At the time, there were 36 families living there.
 From 1931, and lasting several years, the Jewish Agency struggled to evict the  tenant farmers from Qusqus, from the land which was to become Alonim.

The kibbutz was established on 26 June 1938 as part of the tower and stockade settlement project.

During the 1936–39 Arab revolt in Palestine, Alonim was frequently attacked and three of its members were killed.
It began as an orchard and dairy farm, and manufactured flutes, which were popular with Israeli children.

By 1945, al Tivon (Alonim) (previously  Qusqus Taboun) had 370 Muslim and 320 Jewish inhabitants, with a total land area of 5,823 dunams.
 Of this land, 141 dunams were  used for plantations and irrigable land, 2,038 for cereals,  while 3,644 dunams were classified as non-cultivable land.

In 1947, Alonim had a population of over 450.
