Zichron Ya’akov is one of the first Jewish Colonies in the Holy Land. Founded in 1882 by the Baron James (=Ya’akov) de Rothschild, Zichron Ya’akov is named after him.
Today Zichron has several points of interest such as the “founders street” (now a pedestrian street), including the Aharonson family house, the local cemetary, and the “Carmel” winery.
