Lovely and green, Society Hill is one of the most historic neighborhoods in the Center City Philadelphia real estate market. Society Hill is not a hill. It was the Free Society of Traders that gave its name to Society Hill. In 1683 a sawmill, a glasshouse and a tannery populated much of Society Hill. The area was not pretty in the early 1960's, but today it is the very model of urban renewal in a historic setting. Today Society Hill extends from the Delaware River to Washington Square and from Walnut Street to South Street.
