In the early 20th century, Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, was an important industrial town called Manavon. It later changed its name to coincide with that of the town's main employer, Phoenix Iron Works. The factory has since closed, but the town has retained the name. Today, it serves mainly as a suburb of Philadelphia, which lies 28 miles to the southeast. It's also a good stopping point for travelers to or from the larger city, as you can tell by the several Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, motels that line the main road to Philly.
Phoenixville is 33 miles northwest of Philadelphia International Airport. You can get there on public transport, but it requires train and bus changes in Philadelphia and King of Prussia. It's easier to go by car; either take a taxi from the airport or pick up a rental. If you need some food after arriving at your choice of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, hotels, head to Bridge Street, where you'll find a range of restaurants. There are many parks and green areas in town, the most notable being Black Rock Sanctuary, a wildlife habitat by the Schuylkill River that is open to the public.
