Weiss organized a lottery using seashells to allocate land. Sixty-six Jewish families participated. This event marked the official establishment of Tel Aviv. The city was initially named Ahuzat Bayit. It was later renamed Tel Aviv in 1910. This name symbolized a renaissance in the ancient Jewish homeland.
Tel Aviv was envisioned as a contrast to neighboring Arab towns. Founders hoped for a clean and modern city. They drew inspiration from European cities like Warsaw and Odesa. Marketing materials promised modern amenities. These included roads sidewalks electric lights and modern sewerage systems.
Other Jewish suburbs existed before Tel Aviv. Neve Tzedek was the oldest. In 1921 Tel Aviv gained township status within the Jaffa Municipality. It became independent in 1934.
Tel Aviv grew rapidly thanks to Jewish immigration. Many immigrants disembarked in Jaffa. They stayed in Tel Aviv turning it into a center of urban life.
