Kiryat Shmuel, Haifa

Kiryat Shmuel (Hebrew: קרית שמואל) is a neighborhood at the perimeter of the city of Haifa in northern Israel.

It is located about one kilometer from the coast, with a train station on its border with Kiryat Motzkin.

[2] The neighbourhood is named after Shmuel Hayim Landau, a leader of the Hapoel HaMizrachi movement.

Kiryat Shmuel was built on the sands of Haifa Bay in 1938, by members of Hapoel HaMizrachi who wanted to live in a town of a religious Jewish-Orthodox character.

The founders rejected an offer to build a small neighbourhood within Kiryat Haim and chose to start a new town.
