Philly History Blog

I've mentioned the Philadelphia City Archive, hosted on PhillyHistory.org. They also have a very well written blog that draws material from the archives. Each post I have read so far has been well researched and interesting.
I've always been fascinated with the Lenni Lenape (Delaware) place names around Philly. Here is part 1 of a great post about some of these names, and the known settlements along the Delaware River at the time of William Penn. Part 2 is here.
