Petah Tikva, Modern industrial city in Central District, Israel
Located 10 kilometers east of Tel Aviv, Petah Tikva spans across former agricultural lands with modern commercial districts and residential neighborhoods.
Jewish pioneers established Petah Tikva in 1878 on swampy terrain near the Yarkon River, requiring extensive drainage efforts funded by Baron Edmond de Rothschild.
The city maintains multiple educational institutions, theaters, and sports facilities that serve its diverse population of religious and secular residents.
Transportation networks include regular bus services, train connections to Tel Aviv, and a new light rail system launched in 2023.
Petah Tikva transformed from citrus groves to a technology center, hosting international companies like IBM and Intel in its industrial zones.
