Located in the River Wards section of Philadelphia, PA, the neighborhood of Fishtown is shaped roughly like a triangle, defined by the Delaware River, Frankford Avenue, and York Street. Historically it was populated mainly by working-class Irish Catholics, but recently it has seen a shift towards more young urban professionals and families. 

Its unique name, “Fishtown,” is derived from the original occupation of most of its residents. Most of the original populace were fishermen who controlled the fishing rights of both sides of the Delaware River from Cape May to the falls at Trenton, NJ. Legend has it that Charles Dickens was the one to name the area “Fishtown,” but records seem to indicate otherwise. 

Today, Fishtown contains numerous attractions, some of which include: 

• Penn Treaty Park 
• Greensgrow Urban Farm 
• Smith Kids Play Place 
• Stephen Girard Collection 
• Rivers Casino Philadelphia 
• Corridor Contemporary 
• Valley to Summit 
• Bottle Bar East 
• Green Rock Tavern 
• Garage Fishtown 
• Fishtown Tavern 
• Pacific Yoga
