In the early 1700s, Francis Daniel Pastorius, was a prominent educator, lawyer, and poet, and was the founder of the Germantown neighborhood. He described Philadelphia as a 'howling wilderness' in his writing before it transformed into the urban jungle we know today.

The inspiration for Schuylkill Rangers is one of the 150+ gangs that roamed Philly's neighborhoods in the mid-1800s. Led by 'Wild Jimmy' Haggerty, the gang known as the Schuylkill Rangers often looted the wharves and coal yards along the eponymous river until their break up after the Civil War.
