Modern Day: A town in central Israel, situated between Haifa and Tel Aviv, was founded in 1890 by Zionist immigrants from Russia and Eastern Europe.  In 1895, Baron Edmond de Rothschild, a wealthy French philanthropist, gave the settlers of Hadera with funds to drain the swamps by building canals and planting large eucalyptus groves. The eucalyptus tree soon became Haderah's symbol.
 
At first, agriculture was the main occupation of Haderah's settlers. They planted field and vegetable garden crops and citrus groves. But as the population of Haderah increased, the economy expanded and industrialized. Today, industry has become the main element in the town's economy. Situated in Haderah are the American Israel Paper Mills, and the Alliance Tire and Rubber Company, food-preserve plants and other enterprises. Agriculture, however, has continued to develop and there are now carp ponds, beehives, cattle, poultry, and flower and banana fields in Haderah.
