In the mid-nineteenth century; a transportation industry developed in Reading that put the city on the map--and on the Monopoly board--forever. Founded in 1748 by William Penns sons Thomas and Richard;Reading experienced rapid growth throughout the nineteenth century as the Reading Railroad (the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad) breathed steam into the citys industry. As the powerful railroads faded later; so did the citys economy. In recent years; Reading has become known as the birthplace and capital of factory outlet shopping and the hub ofnewborn manufacturing; financial; and agricultural enterprises.
