Manayunk is a neighborhood in the section of Lower Northwest Philadelphia in the state of Pennsylvania.

The area's name is derived from the language of the Lenape Indians . In 1686-dated papers between William Penn and the Lenape, the Lenape referred to the Schuylkill River as Manaiung, their word for river, which literally translates as place to drink; the word was later altered and adopted as the town's name.Although historically a working class community, in recent years the neighborhood has been substantially gentrified.
