Hill Square, located near the south bank of the Yarkon River,
It was named after Major General John Hill, the division commander who led the Yarkon’s second and most successful campaign in Sinai and Israel. Excavations in the square revealed burial caves and the remains of settlements from the fourth millennium BC and from the 8th to the 10th centuries BCE, indicating the early settlement in the territory of Tel Aviv.
In the 60s of the 20th century, after construction began in the areas close to the site, the development of the square began. As part of the works, most of the alignment area was paved on Shimon Hatarsi Street, and the Ussishkin School was built, blocking the view between the hill and the Yarkon. In the square itself, the natural vegetation of the kurkar hill was thickened, and palm trees and other Mediterranean trees were planted. The court is characterized by tangled and diverse vegetation on several levels.
During the training workshop, an archaeological excavation was conducted at the site, led by archaeologist Yaakov Kaplan, and finds from the Chalcolithic, Bronze, and Iron Ages were found in the Land of Israel. During this period, they discovered another archeological site in the area now known as the winepress garden https://lifetlv.com/2021/12/24/winepress-garden/(also controlled as a “Hellenistic winepress”).
