Tacony occupies a stretch of the Delaware River in Northeast Philadelphia, immediately north of Wissinoming and south of Holmesburg. The Tacony-Palmyra Bridge, a 3,659-foot cantilever span opened in 1929, carries Route 73 across the Delaware to Palmyra, New Jersey. The bridge remains one of the region's key Delaware River crossings and has a rare vertical-lift center span that opens for river traffic.
The Henry Disston & Sons saw works, once one of the largest saw manufacturing operations in the world, anchored Tacony's industrial economy from the 1870s through much of the twentieth century. Henry Disston also laid out much of Tacony as a planned industrial community with housing for workers, schools, and civic buildings. The Tacony Music Hall and the Disston Recreation Center still reflect that original civic investment. Disston's operations shrank steadily through the mid-twentieth century, with the last vestiges closing in the 1970s.
Most of the residential housing is made up of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century brick rowhomes, with some larger Victorian-era single-family stock closer to the river. Torresdale Avenue serves as the main commercial spine. The Tacony Regional Rail station provides service into Center City.
