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 Penn�s 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 city�s industry. As the powerful railroads faded later, so did the city�s economy. In recent years, Reading has become known as the birthplace and capital of factory outlet shopping and the hub of newborn manufacturing, financial, and agricultural enterprises.
