Founded in 1836 by Frank McWorter, New Philadelphia is the first known town planned and legally registered by an African American in the United States. Frank McWorter used his earnings to purchase 16 family members out of slavery. The site of this frontier community of European Americans and African Americans is a nationally significant archeological site advancing our understanding of free, rural communities and the abolitionist cause in the antebellum era.
