The town council has decided to name one of the principal squares in the city, and a street adjoining it, after Sir Herbert Samuel.
Various towns have commemorated in this way his High Commissionership in Palestine from 1820 to 1925. In Tel Aviv, the new town on the sea near Jaffa, which now has a population of over 100,000, the esplanade along the sea and the adjoining square have been named after him. At Tiberias a new suburb bears his name.
There is also a “Sir Herbert Samuel Garden Suburb” on the slopes of Mount Carmel, above Haifa—a prosperous settlement with wide views over the plain below and the neighboring sea.
