The History

Located just minutes away from Center City and Bucks County at the intersection of Tacony and Comly Streets, off of I-95's Bridge Street exit in Northeast Philadelphia, the Quaker City Flea Market is a landmark institution, having operated continuously at the same location since early 1974.

In years prior, Quaker City Flea Market's indoor complex was home to the national offices of the Quaker City Rubber Company [1] [2] [3], a once prominent manufacturer of rubber goods ranging from conveyor belts and hoses to automobile tires. The Quaker City Rubber Company's main rubber manufacturing facility was located behind our building. Prior to 1951, these properties consisted mostly of the Delaware River boat houses [1] [2], which were demolished to make way for the the rubber company's plant and offices.

The site and the area is steeped in history and the Quaker City Flea Market is considered to be the city's oldest continuously running same-site flea market.
