Center Square was originally one of the five squares William Penn gave to the city when he founded Philadelphia. During the Revolution, regiments of Patriots drilled here in September 1781, and Comte de Rochambeau, commander in chief of the French army in America, encamped here with six thousand soldiers on their way to the final battle of the war at Yorktown, where they assisted Washington in capturing Cornwallis.
