What was the lazaretto station in the 1790's?
Philadelphia LazarettoLast updated 1 month agoFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The Lazaretto U.S. National Register of Historic Places Lazaretto in 1936 Location: Wanamaker Ave. and 2nd St., Essington, Pennsylvania Coordinates: 39°51′38″N 75°18′2″W / 39.86056°N 75.30056°W / 39.86056; -75.30056Coordinates: 39°51′38″N 75°18′2″W / 39.86056°N 75.30056°W / 39.86056; -75.30056 Area: 10 acres (40,000 m2) Built: 1799 Architect: Unknown Architectural style: Georgian, Federal Governing body: Private NRHP Reference#: 72001119[1] Added to NRHP: March 16, 1972 The Philadelphia Lazaretto was the first quarantine hospital in the United States, built in 1799, in Tinicum Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.[2] The site was originally inhabited by the Lenni Lenape, and then the first Swedish settlers in America. The facility predates similar national landmarks such as Ellis Island and Angel Island and is considered both the oldest surviving quarantine hospital and the last surviving example of its type in the United States.[3] Contents [hide] 1 History 2 See also 3 References 4 Further reading 5 External links [edit] HistoryThe first quarantine station for the city of Philadelphia was erected in 1743 where the Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers meet,[4] but efforts to control disease epidemics in the City of Philadelphia did not begin in earnest until after the devastating Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793, which killed between 4,000 and 5,000 inhabitants-about one-tenth of the city's population at the time-and led the national government, which was then located there, to temporarily move out of the city. Following that epidemic, the commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1798 created a Board of Health, controlled by the city, with the power to levy taxes for public health measures.[4] The following year, the city Board of Health erected the Lazaretto on a 10-acre (40,000 m2)-site ten miles (16 km) south of the city on the banks of the Delaware in Tinicum Township.[2][3] The new quarantine station included a hospital, offices and residences.[3] All passenger and cargo vessels bound for the port of Philadelphia were required to dock at the Lazaretto for inspection.[2] Passengers suspected of contagion were quarantined in the hospital, and all suspect cargo was stored in the public warehouse.[2] The Board of Health of the City of Philadelphia operated the facility and enforced the local quarantine regulations until the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania assumed authority for enforcing quarantine regulations in 1893.[2] After it was closed as a hospital, it was used as an aviation base.[5] The building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[6] In the early 21st century, the site was threatened with development, but the work of local preservationists saved it from leveling.[
What does Bradley mean?
The name "Bradley" originated as a location name and surname in mid-19th Century Britain and derives from a compound form of the Old English words 'brode' (broad) and 'leah' (wood, meadow or clearing).While superficial transliteration of the compound word may insinuate that the name, "Bradley," simply means "broad wood" or "broad meadow," a more proper meaning of the name is derived from its use as a surname (i.e., not necessarily as a place name).The etymological meaning of Old English surnames, as in the case of "Bradley," often indicated the place or location along the English countryside from whence a person and/or their family originally hailed.In this fashion, the meaning of surnames which indicate place of origin often include the initial preposition "from" attached at the start of what would otherwise simply be the definition of a location name. As a matter of fact, the term "from" used in the meaning of Old English surnames was the only verifiable word-form in a surname's meaning which distinguished it from the family's location of origin.It is thus more correct and proper to assume that any definition of a given name, taken from a surname which originally derived from a place name, infers the use and presence of the initial preposition "from" in the given name's meaning.Therefore, the name "Bradley" is properly defined (not as 'Wendy's man,' as a previous contributor would purport, but...) as "from the broad meadow" or "from a broad clearing in the woods."No etymological evidence is readily found on the web to support certain contributors' definitions of the name "Bradley" as meaning "short & mighty;" however, upon further in depth investigation, some websites which provide enhanced given name & surname definitions for pay in fact do portend to define the physical/personality characteristics of persons named "Bradley" as being just that: "short & mighty."This particular contributor only speaks from personal experience when confirming that the "short & mighty" characteristics are all too fitting for persons named "Bradley," as it stands that this contributor's elder sibling, rightfully named "Bradley", indeed embodies both those physical/personality traits.A previous contributor was well-intentioned & informed enough to describe the correct reason behind the rise in popularity of the American boys name, "Bradley," as being linked to the celebrated life & military career of Omar Nelson Bradley(February 12, 1893 - April 8, 1981), ... one of the main U.S. Army field commanders in North Africa & Europe during World War II, and a General of the Army in the United States Army. He was the last surviving five-star commissioned officer of the United States and the first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff."Bradley" became a commonplace boys name in America, more so than in Canada, Great Britain, or Australia, due in great part to the growing popularity of General Omar N. Bradley, during the latter part of the venerated U.S. Army officer's life (i.e., circa 1970/80's). By this period in popular American history, the name "Bradley" would gain and continue to retain its position amongst the top 150 most popular boys names, in America.In a peculiar instance of what some might called "reversed imperialism" or "reversed colonialism," the given name "Bradley" is now gaining in popularity there where it once only served as a rather plebeian place name or surname for families living near, in or around such a place. That is to say, the name "Bradley" is now commonly given to both sons and daughters of Canadian, British, & Australian origin.The growing popularity across the globe of the given name "Bradley" (and, of its diminutive form, "Brad") can easily be argued to be due in great part to the near universal celebrity of the megalithic star of movies: American-born actor, Brad(Bradley) Pitt.
