Germantown Pike
Germantown Pike is a northwest-southeast historic road that opened in 1687 originating from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and traverses northwest from there to Collegeville, Pennsylvania. The road is particularly notable for the "imposing mansions" that existed in the Germantown neighborhood in Philadelphia. The road was left in ruins after the British destroyed it in the Revolutionary War during the Battle of Germantown and was not rebuilt until 1809. Portions of the road were signed as U.S. Route 422 before it was truncated back to King of Prussia.
