Which city was gifted an olive tree by the its godly patron?

According to Greek legend, both Poseidon and Athena vied for the patronage of Athens. They were asked to compete by bearing gifts to the Acropolis. Poseidon drew his trident and struck the rock, gifting the city with salt water. Athena, on the other hand, offered something useful: an olive tree. Thus, Athens is named after the Greek goddess of wisdom.
