Ramat Gan Settlement

Ramat Gan settlement was established in 1921 on the lands of the village of Jarisha, whose residents were displaced in 1948. It began as a small agricultural settlement, then a local council was formed there in 1926, developing by 1950 into a large settlement containing several important facilities, including Bar-Ilan University, the second-largest academic institution in the occupation state, the Sheba Medical Center, its largest hospital, in addition to an open-air zoo.

Ramat Gan is one of the central settlements in the greater "Tel Aviv" area (Gush Dan). It houses one of the largest diamond exchanges in the world, along with a number of advanced technology industries, and is home to the Moshe Aviv Tower, the tallest building in the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948. The settlement is considered one of the centers of what is known as "Israel's Silicon Valley."

According to 2015 statistics, Ramat Gan's population was about 152,596 people, the majority of them Zionist Jews.
