History
The kibbutz was established in 1937 as a fishing village by a gar'in of HaMahanot HaOlim youth group members. It was named for its location in the Hula Valley. After the draining of the Hula swamps, the residents began working in agriculture.[http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/features/the-good-life-on-a-kibbutz-1.315085 The good life on a kibbutz], Haaretz
The documentary film Kibbutz traces the stages of grieving and disillusionment that followed Hulata's economic collapse and privatization.[https://israelfilmcenterstream.org/film/kibbutz/ Kibbutz: Documentary]
Hulata is a pluralistic kibbutz that accepts members from all backgrounds, both religiously observant and not.[http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/features/the-good-life-on-a-kibbutz-1.315085 The good life on a kibbutz], Haaretz
