Located in the lower northeast section of Philadelphia, Frankford was first settled by Swedish immigrants in the mid-seventeenth century, and it rivaled Philadelphia itself in
notoriety. At one time, Frankford was considered one of the most thriving manufacturing areas in the state. Built along the banks of Frankford Creek, which flows into the Delaware River, Frankford grew for centuries and witnessed many of America's historical events and people. In 1854, it became a part of the city of Philadelphia. Frankford was home to the Frankford Yellow Jackets, one of the first NFL teams in America. Now a vital connection in Philadelphia's
Market-Frankford elevated system, Frankford continues to be one of the city's best-known neighborhoods.

More History from the Mid-Atlantic The Lehigh Valley Railroad established the Bethlehem Iron Company in 1860 along the Lehigh River in South Bethlehem. The Bethlehem Iron Company manufactured the largest steel axle to date to support the first Ferris wheel at the 1893 World's Fair. More than fifty-one million guests visited the fair before it closed forever in 1965. The 1964-1965 New York World's Fair captures the history of this event through vintage photographs, published here for the first time. mages of America: Building Washington National Cathedral divides the 20th century into decades to detail what must be the first published beginning-to-completion photographic record of the construction of a Gothic cathedral. Prince George's County, one of Maryland's most populous counties, has a rich and vibrant history. The Morris Canal, once an important soldier in the American Industrial Revolution, has been gone for most of the 20th century, but its memory lives on in the many photographs, postcards, and other memorabilia that its unique presence inspired. The memorable photographs and detailed captions in Images of America: Dover offer a fascinating look at the nation's first state capital, including its residents, events, farms, and local architecture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frankford (PA) (Images of America)
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2008

Establishes in one simple product the engaging historicity of this unique neighborhood and district of Philadelphia. Frankford also has contributed to the election of presidents and of important and incisive members of Congress, both House and Senate, on the state level, and on the national level. Who can forget the impasse that Frankford helped contribute to the election of John F. Kennedy in the 1960 presidential election. It was this diverse and ethnically constituted section of eastern European and southern European peoples that brought home the crucial importance of Frankford. Overwhelming the other candidate's voted in the 1960 contest, Philadelphia's and Frankford's large majority of Democratic vote helped carry the state of Pennsylvania's electoral for the promise of the first Cathilic president of the United States. I hope Frankford wil be instrumental in the election of Obama as the first African-American president of the United States in the election set for November 4th. One can only hope for a repeat of this Philadelphia's neighborhood crest which will elect the first Black as President.

I love the images. It is a great reference for Frankford's history and development. I would have appreciated a little more in the way of references especially dates and locations, but I appreciate that is not always possible. A great book.

More of a picture book with details telling you what you're looking at, maybe a brief history. I like it but thought I would be reading a little more.
