This material consists of fascimilie reproductions of road petitions and plans pertaining to the German Township (consisting of present-day Germantown, Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill). In the 1700s, a petition was drawn up, signed by various citizens, requesting the opening of a road. These petitions were usually addressed to the English Government.
