Original Note:
Factually incorrect Tel Aviv, built 1909 on sand dunes, was 2km north of Jaffa. The walled port of Jaffa was only 400m ↔️ 300m ↕️, 0.12km². Tel Aviv's empty land, purchased by Jakobus Kann, is separate to Jaffa but since 1950 governed under one municipality. https://web.archive.org/web/20121012143130/http://www.economist.com/topics/tel-aviv?city_id=TLV&folder=Facts-History https://web.archive.org/web/20080108053105/http://www.travelwritersmagazine.com/RonBernthal/tel-aviv-and-its-bauhaus-tradition.html https://www.jpost.com/christian-news/today-in-history-founding-of-tel-aviv-450852 https://cgscholar.com/bookstore/works/mythical-dimensions-of-the-telaviv-century https://www.encyclopedia.com/religion/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/kann-jacobus-henricus https://www.alamy.com/the-city-of-tel-aviv-in-israel-palestinewas-founded-in-1909-by-jews-on-the-outskirts-of-the-ancient-port-city-of-jaffa-on-11-april-1909-66-jewish-families-gathered-on-a-desolate-sand-dune-to-parcel-out-the-land-by-lottery-using-seashells-this-gathering-is-considered-the-official-date-of-the-establishment-of-tel-aviv-image186399450.html
