History
The village was established in 1950 by immigrants from Yemen. The founders were later joined by Cochin Jews who had immigrated from India. Its name is taken from Psalms 89:14, as is the name of the neighbouring moshav Ta'oz;
Thine is an arm with might; strong is Thy hand, and exalted is Thy right hand.
Tarum was established on the land belonging to the depopulated Palestinian village of Sar'a.
