Hatikva Quarter
Hatikva Quarter (Template:Lang-he-n, Shkhunat Hatikva) is a working class neighbourhood in southeastern Tel Aviv, Israel.
History
The quarter was founded in 1935, named for "Mount Hope" ("Har HaTikva" in Hebrew), a farm built in 1855 by Protestant Prussian and American immigrants. Almira Steinbeck, who left the farm with her family, was the grandmother of John Steinbeck.[1][2] It became part of the Tel Aviv municipal area after the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.
Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv football club played at the Hatikva Neighborhood Stadium until moving to Bloomfield Stadium. The headquarters of the Israeli Labor Party is located there.[3]
The Shevah Mofet school is located on the site of the Steinbeck farm house.[4]
