History of Tel Aviv
As already mentioned, Tel Aviv is a young metropolis. However, the first signs of settlement in this coastal area go back to the times of Ancient Egypt. Jaffa, which is part of the city's name, was originally an ancient port city serving since the Bronze Age. In 1909, Jews were founded north of the port of Jaffa Neve Tzedek, which in translation means New Suburb. According to the plans, Tel Aviv was supposed to be a city with wide boulevards and modern buildings to approach the concept of European cities. In the 1930s, however, it was dominated by the Bauhaus architectural style, in which more than 4,000 buildings were built. In 1934, Tel Aviv received the status of a capital city. Another important date was May 14, 1948, when Israel gained independence. Jerusalem became the capital for a few months. After the unification of Tel Aviv and Jaffa, the situation turned to the original version.
