Around the Block
Queen Village.
Queen Village, one of Philadelphia's oldest neighborhoods, traces its roots to the 17th century when it was inhabited by the Lenape Native Americans and later settled by Swedes who established the colony of New Sweden. Incorporated into Philadelphia by William Penn in 1682 as Southwark, it became an industrial and residential hub, attracting diverse populations including many Irish immigrants in the 19th century. In the 1970s, the neighborhood adopted the name "Queen Village" to honor Queen Christina of Sweden. Today, it is known for its well-preserved historic architecture, vibrant community, and mix of residential and commercial spaces.
