History

University City in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is home to some of Pennsylvania’s most prestigious Universities and the home to some of the world’s finest research in Medicine, Anthropology and Archeology, as well as Architecture and Engineering.

University City was first known as Blockly. In 1677, a man by the name of William Warner had purchased the 1,500 acres of land from the Lenape tribe and decided to name it Blockley Township. Later, in 1740, Benjamin Franklin traveled to the other side of the Schuylkill River and founded what is known today as the University of Pennsylvania. His original goal for the school was to provide the average American with the opportunity for an affordable and attainable higher education, and bring more medical science to Philadelphia as well as the rest of America.
