Bridesburg, Philadelphia
Bridesburg, the northernmost of Philadelphia's River Wards, is a river-front neighborhood just south and east the Northeast section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Bridesburg is an historically German and Irish community, with a significant community of Polish immigrants who arrived mostly in the early- to mid-twentieth century. The community is home to two Catholic churches: All Saints Church, designed by Edwin Forrest Durang,〔(Listing of All Saints Roman Catholic Church at Philadelphia Architects and Buildings )〕 built in 1889; and Saint John Cantius Church, built some time after 1892 in Polish Cathedral style.
==Boundaries==
The historic boundaries of the former borough of Bridesburg were the original course of Frankford Creek around the north and west, the Delaware River to the southeast, and Port Richmond to the southwest, along a border at Pike Street near Wheatsheaf Lane.〔(Excerpt from ''Incorporated District, Boroughs, and Townships in the County of Philadelphia'', 1854, by Rudolph J. Walther )〕 With the diversion of Frankford Creek in 1956 and the construction of I-95 in the late 1960s, these have become the effective southwest and northwest boundaries. Adjacent neighborhoods are Wissinoming to the northeast, Whitehall to the north, Frankford to the northwest, and Port Richmond to the southwest.
The 19137 ZIP Code, of which Bridesburg forms the major part, extends as far to the southwest as Castor Avenue, and includes some area to the northwest of I-95 and the original course of Frankford Creek.〔(19137 ZIP Code at city-data.com )〕 A small portion of Bridesburg (also 19137) is situated directly next to the 19124 ZIP code known as Frankford.
