About Queen Village
What are the main landmarks in Queen Village?
Queen Village's landmarks are its streets and its riverfront. South Street runs through as the neighbourhood's main commercial spine, a strip of shops and rooms that pulls foot traffic down from the rest of Philadelphia. Fabric Row lines 4th Street nearby.
Along its eastern side the district meets the Delaware River, the working edge that first gave these blocks their trade.
What is the history of Queen Village?
Queen Village grew along the Delaware River at the older edge of South Philadelphia, its beginnings tied to the riverfront rather than an inland founding. The water set the neighbourhood's first line. As Philadelphia pushed south from Lombard Street toward Washington Avenue, the blocks between filled in one by one, folding Queen Village into the wider Pennsylvania city.
That growth still shapes its grid.
