Savyon ( _he. סַבְיוֹן) is a local council in the Center District of Israel, located in between Kiryat Ono, Petah Tikva and Or Yehuda. Ranked 10/10 on the Israeli socio-economic scale, it is among the wealthiest municipalities in Israel, being both famous and infamous for it. In December 2006, Savyon had a population of 3,300.cite web|url=http://www.cbs.gov.il/population/new_2009/table3.pdf|publisher=Israel Central Bureau of Statistics|title=Table 3 - Population of Localities Numbering Above 1,000 Residents and Other Rural Population|date=2007-12-31|accessdate=2008-06-07]

Savyon was founded in 1955 by Africa Israel Investments for senior immigrants from South Africa. It took the name of a common flower, although the first part of its name ("sav") means "grandfather", which was appropriate for the residents of the time.cite encyclopedia|author=Vilnai, Ze'ev|title=Savyon|encyclopedia=Ariel Encyclopedia|volume=Volume 5|pages=pp. 5298-99|publisher=Am Oved|location=Israel|year=1978 he icon] Today, Savyon houses a younger population.
