History
The moshav was founded in 1950 by immigrants from Yemen, with the name taken from a passage in the Book of Psalms 92:13: "They are planted in the house of the Lord, they flourish in the courts of our God."
Shtulim was built the land of the Palestinian village of Isdud, which was depopulated in 1948.
It has been flooded multiple times due to its proximity to two rivers.
