The borders of the area: in the west and north the Israel-Lebanon border, in the east the Golan Heights and the Jordan Mountains, in the south an imaginary line between Kibbutz Malkia and Gonen.

The area of ​​the Finger of the Galilee was added to the territory of the British Mandate on the Land of Israel in 1924, in an agreement between it and the French Mandate on Syria and Lebanon.

Its nickname was given to it due to its elongated and narrow shape, like a finger sticking out to the north.
