Moyamensing
was originally a township on the fast land of the Neck, lying
between Passyunk and Wicaco. It was incorporated into the
Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania and is today primarily a
neighborhood in the South Philadelphia section of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, United States.
History
The tract was granted by the Dutch governor Alexander d'Hinoyossa,
to Martin Clensmith, William Stille and Lawrence Andries.
In 1684, when the land was turned over from the Dutch to the
English, the title was given by William Penn to Stille, Lassey
Andrews, Andrew Bankson and John Matson.
Moyamensing
Township included this ground and Wicaco, except such parts
of the latter as were included in Southwark. Its northern
boundary was South Street and below the existing parts of
Southwark; its eastern boundary was the Delaware River, and
its western boundary was Schuylkill Sixth (Seventeenth Street).
In 1816
the greatest length of Moyamensing was estimated to be 3 miles;
the greatest breadth, 2 miles; area, 2,560 acres (10 km²).
By act of March 24, 1812, the inhabitants of Moyamensing were
incorporated by the style of "the commissioners and inhabitants
of the township of Moyamensing." By act of April 4, 1831,
the township was divided into East and West Moyamensing. The
township was one of the earliest created after the settlement
of Pennsylvania, and became part of Philadelphia in 1854.
