 History

Hula has been identified with Ulay Rabbatah, a place mentioned in Rabbinic literature as being positioned on the border that signified the northernmost limit of Jewish settlement upon their return from Babylonian captivity in the 6th to 5th centuries BCE. Contemporary research indicates that this text was composed in the 2nd century CE, approximately six centuries after the return to Zion. Despite its later origin, it mirrors an ancient reality, likely harking back to the Hasmonean or Herodian periods, around the 2nd or 1st century BCE.

In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it as: "A village, built of stone, containing about 500 Metawileh, one of the most prominent objects in which is a Sheikh's tomb. It is situated on the hill-top, and is surrounded by olives, vines, and arable land. There are several cisterns, two birkets (one rock-cut), and a spring." It also mentions that a small central mosque is situated on top of one of the hills in the village.
