- Northern Liberties is a neighborhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. When a city, it was the 7th largest city in the United States in 1790.
Northern Liberties is located north of Center City (specifically, Old City) and is bordered by Girard Avenue to the north; Callowhill Street to the south; North 6th Street to the west; and the Delaware River to the east (from Callowhill Street to Laurel Street; from Laurel Street to Girard Avenue the eastern boundary is North Front Street).
The historical boundaries were slightly different, with Vine Street as the southern border and the Cohocksink Creek serving as the northern border. The creek now flows as a storm sewer under the following streets (starting at the Delaware River and running from southeast to northwest): Canal, Laurel, Bodine, Cambridge, and Orkney Streets.
Originally a portion of the Northern Liberties Township, the district first gained limited autonomy from the township by an Act of Assembly on March 9, 1771. The Act provided for the appointment of persons to regulate streets, direction of buildings, etc. By March 30, 1791 a second Act enabled the inhabitants of that portion of the Northern Liberties between Vine Street and Pegg's Run (Cohoquinoque Creek) and the middle of Fourth Street and the Delaware River to elect three commissioners to lay taxes for the purpose of lighting, watching and establishing pumps within those bounds.
During the Yellow Fever epidemics of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the Northern Liberties district was hard hit, with many fatalities.[2]
On March 28, 1803, the Legislature passed an act to incorporate that part of the township of the Northern Liberties lying between the west side of Sixth Street and the Delaware River and between Vine Street and Cohocksink Creek, thus creating the District of Northern Liberties. Under the Act of Consolidation, 1854, the district ceased to exist, and became a part of Philadelphia.
Early in its history, the location just outside Philadelphia allowed the area to thrive in manufacturing, as mills, breweries, leather tanneries, paints and chemical works, tool making factories, and iron and stove foundries once lined the neighborhood. It also holds the status as a famous red-light district in the United States. Prior to annexation, the township was created as a less densely populated alternative to nearby Philadelphia. Because of this, it was later known colloquially as "Philadelphia's first suburb." However, the Southwark neighborhood claims this distinction as well.
Artisan immigrants from Germany settled in the Northern Liberties in great numbers in the 19th century. In the first decades of the 20th century, the area saw an influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe. Numbers of Slovak and Romanians left the challenges they faced in the waning years of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Slovaks established St. Agnes Slovak Roman Catholic Church at the intersection of Fourth and Brown Street. The Romanians who settled in the area established Holy Trinity Romanian Orthodox Church at the intersection of American and Brown Streets, where they and their descendants continue to worship.
From 1860 to 1987, the Christian Schmidt Brewing Company was located in Northern Liberties.
In 1985, the Northern Liberties Historic District was created, dedicated to preserving the Italianate architecture, Greek revival, and Federal style buildings which characterizes the area. The historic district is bounded by Brown, Boone and Galloway, Green and Wallace, and Fifth and Sixth Streets. The district encompasses 209 contributing buildings.[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[4] Also located in Northern Liberties and listed on the National Register of Historic Places are the Daniel Boone School, Burk Brothers and Company, Integrity Title Insurance, Trust and Safe Deposit Company, Thomas Jefferson School, Mifflin School, and St. John's Church.

You have excellent oratory skills. Ever consider applying for a job doing those official Phila tours or go into radio?
What a nice tour and great narration! All those side-alleys and blocks of houses mixed in with commercial spaces gives me Seoul, South Korea vibes without the steep hills. I enjoy these tours. I have not visited the US often and with pandemic travel restrictions, I am living for these kind of videos! Much love from Singapore.
I was thinking the EXACT same thing!
And then on top of that, Seoul's Haebangchon district area is like Philly's Manayunk neighborhood! 😃

I live on 3 and Girard ave. Beautiful Philly. Thanks for show my neighbor hood.
Amazing memory and attention to detail! Keep up the awesome work. I really enjoyed watching this.
How do you learn it all? Do you study maps or read neighborhood histories?
Nice tour. Thanks!
Great Tour Toon, sorry I missed last night.. Bless you, and your Family
I don't know about no crime. When I first moved out to Philly for work I remember going to that acme that he drove by. My first night living in Philadelphia about 4 years ago and somebody was murdered in the parking lot. I was in the store on lockdown for about an hour and a half. First thing I learned about living in this city is doesn't matter how nice it looks. This place is still all hood. It's a shame because a lot of the city could really be nice if somehow there was no criminal Element. Where I grew up right over the bridge in Cherry Hill. We didn't have murders, car jackings ect... I'm moving in 5 months and I can't wait.
Awesome tour 😊
