The first Jewish cemetery in Tel Aviv was in Jaffa. In 1902, there was a cholera epidemic in Jaffa and the governor forbade burial close to the city walls. The authorities gave Shimon Rokach, one of the leaders of the Jewish community, land far to the northeast of Jaffa at a cost of 1,000 French francs. He then gave the land to the community for use as a cemetery. The first cholera victim was buried in Jaffa, and the second was buried in the 'new' cemetery.
