History

The village was established in 1957 by the Jewish Agency for Moroccan Jewish immigrants. They arrived in two groups, and the original aim was to found two settlements; Shokeda and Tzumha. However, only one of them was established.

In the late winter months, Shokeda becomes a tourist attraction due to the multitude of wild red poppy flowers that carpet the landscape.[2]
