History
The village was established in 19481 by a gar'in of youth from South Africa, Romania and Egypt from the youth movement HaNoar HaTzioni as a kibbutz on Shimron Hill in the Lower Galilee, in the area now covered by the community settlement of Timrat. It was named after a carving in the shape of a palm in the temple: 1 Kings 6:29. It was built at a site near the former depopulated Palestinian village of Tall al-Turmus. In 1953 it was reorganized as a moshav shitufi, one of the first in the country. In 1954 the settlement moved to its current location due to a shortage of land at its original site.
Economy
Timorim's income in 2005 derived mainly from industry (74%), with additional 15% from agriculture and 11% from outside work of Timorim members and other sources.

Agriculture includes cotton, citrus, olives, and walnuts. A dairy herd of 450 head is managed jointly with Kibbutz Hulda.
