Who could have imagined that beneath the modern facade of Northwood, Philadelphia, lies a history as rich and layered as the earth itself? Right here, where we stand, once flowed the lifeblood of the Lenni Lenape tribe, their presence whispered in the very soil beneath our feet. Northwood wasn’t always bustling streets and charming homes. Long before European settlers arrived, the Taconick Indians, part of the larger Lenni Lenape tribe, called this area home. They thrived along the banks of the Quessionwonmick River, which we know today as Frankford Creek. Imagine their lives, intertwined with nature, as they fished these waters and cultivated the land. Even now, a tangible piece of their existence remains. A stone implement, used by those early inhabitants for grinding corn, still rests in the creek bed, a silent testament to Northwood’s earliest days, visible where it winds through the grounds of Friends Hospital.
