| One of the first Jewish
settlements in the country, Zichron Yaakov was established by Baron
Edmond de Rothschild in 1882 and named in honor of his father Yaakov. In
Hebrew, Zichron Yaakov means "Memory of Yaacov". It is also
the home of Israel's famous Carmel wineries, which began operations in
1886 and now offer tours that include wine tasting. During World War I,
the town served as the headquarters for the Nili spy organization that
included Sarah and Aaron Aaronsohn. The Aaronsohn House now houses a
small museum devoted to the family's history. |
