Petah-Tikva was founded in 1878 by former residents of Jerusalem, hoping to escape the cramped quarters of Jerusalem's walls. It was the first modern Jewish agricultural settlement in Palestine and has since grown to become one of Israel's most populous urban centres. Petah-Tikva is a sister city of Chicago in the United States.
