Shoham, Residential settlement in Ramla sub-district, Israel
Shoham is a residential settlement in the Ramla sub-district, situated on raised terrain about 86 meters above sea level in central Israel. The area is surrounded by housing developments and green spaces.
Shoham was established in 1993, marking a period of expansion in the Ramla sub-district following demographic shifts in central Israel. This creation reflected broader settlement development across the region.
The name Shoham comes from a Hebrew word meaning onyx, tying the settlement to the region's heritage of gemstones. This origin shapes how residents think about their community.
The location between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem makes this settlement a hub for professionals commuting to these major urban areas. Many residents rely on the central position for easy access to work and schools.
The Ramla area functions as a network of multiple towns and smaller settlements spread across a substantial territory, creating an interconnected community region. Visitors often discover how these different places link together as a larger whole.
