Manayunk

Manayunk

“Manayunk” is a pencil drawing by artist Nicholas Santoleri.
Also available as an open edition, hand signed print, reproduced from the original pencil drawing.

Located on the banks of the Schuylkill River, Manayunk contains the first canal begun in the United States. It’s name comes from the language of the Lenape Indians.  The Lenape referred to the Schuylkill River as “Manaiung”, their word for “river”, which literally translates as “place to drink”; the word was later altered and adopted as the town’s name. This was historically a working class community. In recent years the neighborhood has been substantially gentrified.

Manayunk was originally a community in Roxborough Township, Philadelphia County, situated near the Schuylkill River, On June 11, 1840 Manayunk, incorporated as a borough and no longer considered part of the “Township or Borough of Rocks” (Roxborough).  Presently it is part of sprawling Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
