History
Before the 20th century the area formed part of the Forest of Sharon. It was an open woodland dominated by Mount Tabor Oak, which extended from Kfar Yona in the north to Ra'anana in the south. The local Arab inhabitants traditionally used the area for pasture, firewood and intermittent cultivation. The intensification of settlement and agriculture in the coastal plain during the 19th century led to deforestation and subsequent environmental degradation.
Geulim was founded on 17 November 1938 as a tower and stockade settlement by Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany, and was initially named "Bnei Geulim" (lit. Sons of the Redeemed).
In 1945 the residents moved to Kfar Yedidia, and members of the Talmon organisation of Yemenite immigrants settled in the area. They changed the name to Talmon-Geulim, and later to just Geulim.
During 1948 Arab–Israeli War it was temporarily occupied by Arab forces.
