conshohocken

     

Conshohocken is a borough on the Schuylkill River in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in suburban Philaelphia. Historically a large mill town and industrial and manufacturing center, after the decline of industry in recent years Conshohocken has developed into a center of riverfront commercial and residential development. It is commonly referred to by its colloquial nickname, Conshy. The name 'Conshohocken' comes from 'Gueno-sheiki-hacking', meaning 'Pleasant Valley' in the native language of the Lenape tribe of the area's native Americans who first occupied the land over 300 years ago. Con-sho-hock-en is pronounced exactly the way it's spelled.
