History
Ramat Aviv was founded in 1950s following the great influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe. Golda Meir lived in the neighborhood from 1959 to 1978.[4]
Archaeology
Remains of a Samaritan synagogue were uncovered in Ramat Aviv and first reported in 1978 by archaeologist Haya Kaplan. The structure is dated to the early 7th century CE. The site yielded several mosaic inscriptions: one in Samaritan script naming two donors, and two in Greek — a donor inscription and a blessing on Israel and the house of worship.[5]
In January 2011 it was published that remains of a building, believed to be 7,800–8,400 years old, were discovered in an archaeological excavation carried out in 8 Fichman Street in Ramat Aviv, by the Israel Antiquities Authority.[6] The findings attest to permanent habitation on the northern bank of the Yarkon River.[7]
