About this city
Also known as: The King of Retail
King of Prussia is a bustling, massive commercial and economic powerhouse located in Upper Merion Township within Montgomery County, dynamically positioned just northwest of Philadelphia at the intersection of major highway networks. Taking its unique name from an historic 18th-century colonial tavern named after King Frederick the Great of Prussia, the area evolved into one of the premier retail and corporate employment epicenters in the United States. It is globally celebrated as the home of the King of Prussia Mall, the largest shopping mall in America by rentable retail space, featuring an unparalleled collection of global luxury brands. Today, the area balances its immense retail dominance with a growing pharmaceutical tech sector, corporate headquarters, and immediate access to Revolutionary War heritage parks.
