What are the Irish neighborhoods in Philadelphia?

The Irish are one of the most prominent ethnic groups in Philadelphia, with a long history in the city dating back to the 18th century. The following are some of the historically Irish neighborhoods in Philadelphia:

Kensington

Point Breeze

South Philadelphia (including the Pennsport, Bella Vista, and Queen Village neighborhoods)

Fairmount

Northern Liberties

Logan Square

West Philadelphia (including the University City and Powelton Village neighborhoods)

Many of these neighborhoods were home to large Irish immigrant communities in the 19th and early 20th centuries and have retained a strong Irish character. Today, these neighborhoods are home to a mix of Irish-Americans and other ethnic groups.
