The modern city of Tel Aviv was first created in a non-settled area just north of Jaffa in 1909. As a result, the present-day city of Tel Aviv is not referenced in the Tanakh.

The same phrase, "Tel Aviv," though not referring to the present-day city, is in Ezekiel 3:15. The modern city was named in 1910, with the verse in Ezekiel (as well as the Hebrew title of the book Altneuland) being cited.

Jaffa, however, is in the Tanakh, because it did exist in Biblical times, specifically in Joshua 19:46, Ezra 3:7, Jonah 1:3, and 2 Chronicles 2:15 (Christians number it 2 Chronicles 2:16).

Since 1950, Tel-Aviv and Jaffa have been a single municipality.
