Wissinoming is a neighborhood in the Near Northeast section of Philadelphia, United States. It was the site of locomotive builder Matthias Baldwin's estate "Wissinoming", which was located near Tacony and Van Kirk Streets. The current Wissinoming is bordered by Mayfair on the west and Tacony on the north, Bridesburg on the south (below Bridge Street), I-95 and the Delaware River on the east, and Frankford on the southwest (below Bridge Street). Wissinoming has two ZIP codes: 19124 and 19135.[1] Physical boundaries are: Levick Street on the north, Bridge Street on the south, I-95 and the Delaware River on the east, and Frankford Avenue on the west.
Wissinoming Creek, buried in the 1930s, drained a watershed through Wissinoming that included the main stream and another tributary, Little Wissinoming Creek. The name derives its name from a Lenni Lenape term meaning “where the grapes grow”.
