What is the name of the world's oldest city?


assistant
The city of Jericho, located near the Jordan River in Palestine, is the earliest known city and played an important role in the development of the Neolithic Revolution. Since 9000 BC, nomadic settlers have been drawn here by the warm temperatures, natural springs, and the land's suitability for cultivation.
