West Kensington, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

West Kensington is a neighborhood in the North Philadelphia section of Philadelphia. It is north of Olde Kensington. The Market Frankford El above Front Street forms the line between West Kensington and its bordering neighborhoods to the east (Kensington and Fishtown), although its other boundaries are less well-defined. Historically it had been a heavily Irish-American neighborhood. Today the community is largely populated by Latinos (mostly Puerto Rican), Irish Americans, African Americans, and Italian Americans.
