The city was founded in 1909 by the Yishuv and was given township status within the Jaffa municipality in 1921 before becoming independent from Jaffa in 1934. Today, it has a population of almost half a million people and is the second-most populous city in Israel after Jerusalem.
Tel Aviv has a reputation for being the "party capital" of the Middle East, and in 2020 it was recognized as the "Vegan Capital of the World," with over 400 vegan or vegan-friendly restaurants across the city. The city is also famous for its open acceptance of LGBT culture and hosts the largest pride parade in Asia every year.
The city has a diverse population, with Jews forming 91.8% of the population, Muslim and Arab Christians making up another 4.2%, and the rest being split between various other groups. Experts have estimated there to be about 50,000 unregistered foreign workers also living in the city.
