Tel Aviv - Ramat Gan

To the east of the city center of Tel Aviv is the hilly suburb of Ramat Gan ("Garden Hill"), an industrial settlement laid out in 1920 and well provided with open space. Napoleon's Hill (Tel Gerisa), on the western outskirts, is so called because of the erroneous belief that French cannon were stationed here for the bombardment of Jaffa in 1799. The hill was inhabited as early as the 18th century B.C.
