I think that is a great idea. History, cutlure, language, ect. will naturally have to come out when you are telling a story. You'll have to be patient though, because it will take a lot longer to write a story without the background already thought out.
As to the initial question: There has to be balance. If a story lacks history it is boring just the same as if it has too much history.
