HAIFA

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 820 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
HAIFA , a town of Palestine at the foot of Mt.
Carmel
 , on the
south
  of the Bay of Acre. It represents the classical Sycaminum, but the present town is entirely
modern
 . It has developed since about 1890 into an important port, and is connected by railway with Damascus. The
population
  is estimated at 12,000 (Moslems 6000, Christians 4000,
Jews
  1500, Germans Soo; the last belong for the greater
part
  to the Unitarian sect of the " Templars," who have colonies also at Jaffa and Jerusalem). The exports (
grain
  and oil) were valued at 178,738 in 1900. Much of the
trade
  that formerly went to Acre has been attracted to Haifa. This port is the best natural harbour on the Palestine
coast
 .
