Decatur Road, Philadelphia Was Named After An American Hero…. Stephen Decatur
Unfortunately for me I did not realize the importance of Decatur Road which runs along part of the Northeast Philadephia Airport in the far Northeast until recently. I lived about one block from Decatur Road from around 1963 until around 1976. I didn’t think to wonder or ask why the road was named Decatur and no one voluntered to explain why either. That’s sadly a comment on the lack of learning about the history of early America.
