Pennsport is bound by Passyunk Square to the west, the Delaware River to the east, the Queen Village neighborhood to the north, and the Whitman neighborhood to the south.
The first United States naval yard was located in what is now Pennsport at Federal Street on the Delaware River.
The naval yard was established 1801 and was active until 1875, when it moved to League Island, where the Philadelphia Navy Yard business campus is currently located.
Dickinson Square West, also known as Dickinson Narrows, is a unique and exciting part of this neighborhood that recently became a hotspot in the Philadelphia real estate market.
