Rishon LeZion is a city on Israel's central coastal plain, south of Tel Aviv. It is part of the Gush Dan Greater Tel Aviv metropolitan area and is Israel's fourth largest city with a population of 222,300 in 2006. Rishon LeZion was founded in 1882 by Russian immigrants and was the second Jewish settlement to be formed in Israel after Petah Tikva. Today the city acts partly as a commuter town for Tel Aviv, but does have its own industries as well. The mayor of Rishon LeZion is Meir Nitzan.
