The Borochov neighborhood is also the first workers’ neighborhood established in Eretz Israel - neighborhoods established for workers of the Histadrut, on land belonging to the JNF, were built by Hebrew workers, usually through a Histadrut construction company (Solel Boneh).

The route indicates sites in the history of the neighborhood: the grocery store , Beit Aldema where the first Slick of the Haganah was , Mamlock Pharmacy , the well at the water institute And more.
