King of Prussia: Upper Merion's Retail and Business Hub
King of Prussia is an unincorporated community within Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, about 18 miles northwest of Philadelphia. The community takes its name from the King of Prussia Inn, a colonial-era tavern located along the old Lancaster Road and named after Frederick II of Prussia, the mid-eighteenth-century ruler. The original inn building, dating to around 1769, was moved in 2000 to make way for road widening and now stands preserved on Bill Smith Boulevard.
The King of Prussia Mall, opened in 1963 and expanded multiple times, is among the largest shopping centers in the United States by gross leasable area. The mall houses hundreds of stores, restaurants, and department stores under a single complex and serves as a major regional retail destination. Nearby retail development along Route 202 and Henderson Road makes the area one of the most concentrated commercial districts in southeastern Pennsylvania.
Business and pharmaceutical activity in King of Prussia is also substantial. GlaxoSmithKline, Lockheed Martin, Vanguard (headquartered in neighboring Malvern but with operations in the area), and UGI Corporation maintain significant offices. Valley Forge National Historical Park, just west of the community across the Schuylkill River, preserves the site of the 1777-1778 winter encampment of George Washington's Continental Army.
