Walther. The articles provide a comprehensive overview of Philadelphia from the years 1680 through 1900, opening with the background and settlement of Philadelphia, followed by a chapter on its early townships and districts. The next few sections detail significant areas and places in Philadelphia such as roads, churches, schools, Fairhill Square, Norris Square, taverns, the old fire department, and more.
