In 1784 by Capt. George Esterly, a Revolutionary War veteran, discovered springs in the vicinity of what is now Kensington Ave. and Tioga St., now the site of Harrowgate Square (Park), a park covering one city block. The spring water was pronounced healthful by Dr. Benjamin Rush, and Esterly established a spa there, with gardens, overnight accommodations, food and drink, occasional concerts, and coach service from Second and Market Sts. in Philadelphia.
