Tel Aviv-Yafo

In 1909, Jaffa (Yafo in Hebrew) was the major port city of Ottoman Palestine when Tel Aviv was founded by 66 Jaffa families as an all-Jewish suburb. Nowadays Yafo is a picturesque neighborhood of the Tel Aviv municipality which has a population of 400,000.
After initial setbacks during the Turkish regime Tel Aviv grew by the influx of Jews from Jaffa and later in the nineteen thirties by mass immigration from Nazi-Germany. German-Jewish architects were responsible for the design of the "White City" consisting of some 4,000 buildings based on ideas of the Bauhaus School and famous architect Le Corbusier. The buidings are located in the area north of Allenby Street and south of the Yarkon river.The White City is now a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site.

Neighborhoods

Tel Aviv-Yafo is divided into 9 administrative districts, called "Rova'im." The districts and their boundaries are shown on the map below. For information on the individual districts please refer to Tel Aviv Districts
