"The 60 families that organized in order to establish the Ahuzat Bayit neighborhood in north Jaffa, hold a draw for the plots of land. This day is considered the day on which the neighborhood was founded, and which burgeoned, in the years to come, into the city of Tel Aviv." (Naor, Zionism: The First 120 Years, 1882-2002. Timeline Articles, Documents and Glossary. The Jewish Agency for Israel, The Publishing House of The Zionist Library. Jerusalem, 2002, p. 59)
