Philadelphia, PA - Franklin Square, initially one of five open-space designed by William Penn as he laid out the city of Philadelphia, in 1682. Initially named North East Public Square, Franklin Square ended up being renamed in 1825 to recognize Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States.
