Kensington, colloquially known locally as “Kenzo,” is a neighborhood in Philadelphia that belongs to or divides Lower Northeast and North Philadelphia. As with all neighborhoods in the city, the lack of any official designation means the boundaries of the area vary between sources over time and are disputed among locals. Kensington, as most long-term residents view it, refers generally to the area consisting of Kensington, East or Lower Kensington, West Kensington, and Harrowgate; the adjacent Fairhill and Norris Square neighborhoods are more separate but may be included in Kensington; Fishtown and South (Olde) Kensington were previously included but have developed new identities with gentrification. The most conservative boundaries of the neighborhood, shown in the map below, are Front St

  • Kensington est un quartier de la ville de Philadelphie en Pennsylvanie. Il se situe au nord-est du centre-ville. Avant l'arrivée des Européens, les Amérindiens Lenapes avaient un village nommé Shackamaxon qui était situé à l'emplacement actuel du quartier de Kensington, au nord du centre de Philadelphie. Au XIXe siècle, le quartier fut peuplé par des immigrés irlandais, allemands et polonais. C'est à cette époque que l'industrie textile, en particulier la confection de tapis, fut la plus florissante. Kensington fut le théâtre des émeutes anti-catholiques de mai-juin 1844. (fr)
