The city of Tel Aviv was founded in 1906 by budding young Zionists, so they wished to name the city after the book that inspired them to come to Ottoman Palestine: Altneuland by Theodor Herzl (the book is called "Old New Country" in English). The Hebrew Translation of Altneuland is "Tel Aviv". So, they named the small town Tel Aviv. As Zionists began to increase in Israel, many of them moved to Tel Aviv, making the city Israel's largest metropolis. Other cities in Israel were also named after Herzl or Zionism such as Herzliyya, Rishon Letzion, etc.
