The quarter was founded in 1935, named for "Mount Hope" ("Har HaTikva" in Hebrew), a farm built in 1853 by Protestant Prussian and American Protestants and abandoned in 1858. Almira Steinbeck, who left the farm with her family, was the grandmother of John Steinbeck.[1][2] It became part of the Tel Aviv municipal area after the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.
