Philly H2O: 1882 Army Corps of Engineers Report on Frankford Creek |
 | | Frankford Creek lies entirely within the city limits of Philadelphia, traversing the districts of Frankford, White Hall, and Bridesburgh [sic], which are rapidly becoming the centers of large and varied manufacturing industries. |
 | | The Frankford arsenal, a manufacturing establishment and depot of the Ordnance Department, United States Army, is situated at the confluence of the Frankford Creek and Delaware River, in the twenty-third ward of the city of Philadelphia, Pa. |
 | | Frankford Creek is a tide-water stream which might, with proper attention, be made a very valuable commercial highway to the various manufacturing establishments in and about Frankford, Bridesburg, Whitehall, Aramingo, and, in fact, nearly the whole of the lower part of the twenty-third and a great portion of the twenty-fifth wards. |
