About Giv'atayim

Givatayim is a city in Israel east of Tel Aviv. It is part of the metropolitan area known as Gush Dan. Givatayim was established in 1911 by pioneers of the Second Aliyah. It had a population of 54,700 people in 2011. The name of the city comes from the "two hills" on which it was established: Borochov Hill and Kozlovsky Hill. Kozlovsky is the highest hill in the Gush Dan region at 85 meters above sea level. Archaeological ruins date settlement on the site of what is now Givatayim back to the Calcolithic period. The modern town was founded on April 1, 1911 by a group of 11 Second Aliyah pioneers led by David Schneiderman. Givatayim is only 10 minutes from Tel Aviv, and 15 minutes from the beach.
