It is the largest and most populous city in the metropolitan area of ​​Gush Dan, home to 3.15 million people (2008). The city is governed by the City of Tel Aviv, directed by Ron Huldai.

Tel Aviv was founded by a Jewish community in 1909 on the outskirts of the ancient port city of Jaffa, Hebrew: יָפוֹ, Yafo; Arabic: يافا, Yaffa. The growth of Tel Aviv soon outpaced Jaffa, which had Arab majority at the time. Tel Aviv and Jaffa were merged into a single municipality in 1950, two years after the creation of the State of Israel. The White City of Tel Aviv, which was considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003, has the largest concentration in the world of Bauhaus-style buildings.
