Frankford: Old Mill Town and the Terminus of the El
Frankford is one of the oldest settled areas in what is now Northeast Philadelphia, originally established along Frankford Creek during the colonial era. The Frankford Arsenal, a US Army manufacturing facility on the banks of the creek, produced small arms ammunition from 1816 until its closure in 1977. Many of the neighborhood's oldest industrial buildings trace back to the mill economy of the early nineteenth century, when tanneries, textile works, and paper mills powered by the creek supported a substantial working population.
The Frankford Transportation Center at Bridge Street and Frankford Avenue is the northeastern terminus of SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line, the subway-elevated rail line known locally as "the El" that runs from 69th Street in Upper Darby through Center City and up to Frankford. The line opened to Frankford in 1922 and remains the spine of rapid transit for the Northeast. Dozens of bus routes connect to the center.
Frankford Avenue serves as the commercial corridor through the neighborhood, with a mix of retail, restaurants, and social services stretching north from the Transportation Center. The housing stock includes nineteenth-century brick rowhomes in the older sections and early-twentieth-century construction further out. Frankford High School, a large public high school, has operated in its current building since 1914.
