Gidona lies in the Jezreel Valley of northern Israel, positioned at coordinates 32.5493 latitude and 35.3577 longitude within the Gilboa Regional Council boundaries.
Founded in 1949 as a moshav by Yemeni immigrants, Gidona transformed into a community settlement during the 1960s, marking a shift in its administrative structure.

An ancient stone quarry remains visible on the lower slopes of the Gilboa mountains near the settlement's outskirts.
