King of Prussia (also referred to as KOP)[4] is a census-designated place in Upper Merion Township in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. As of the 2020 census, its population was 22,028. The community took its unusual name in the 18th century from a local tavern named the King of Prussia Inn, which was named after King Frederick the Great of Prussia. Like the rest of Montgomery County, King of Prussia continues to experience rapid development. One of the largest shopping malls in the United States, King of Prussia, is located here. Also located here is the headquarters of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region I. King of Prussia is considered to be an edge city of Philadelphia, consisting of large amounts of retail and office space situated at the convergence of four highways.

King of Prussia is located 35 miles (56 km) southeast of Allentown and 15 miles (24 km) northwest of Philadelphia.

The King of Prussia Inn, named after the Welsh Quakers William Rees and Janet Rees who founded Reesville, was originally built as a cottage in 1719. In 1769, the cottage was converted into an inn. It was a steady business during colonial times because it was only a day's ride by horse from Philadelphia. The inn was a popular place for westward-bound settlers to sleep on their first night of travel. The inn was managed by James Berry, a member of the Rees family. It became \"Berry's Tavern\" after Berry took over management of it in 1774. The Tavern was first visited by General George Washington on Thanksgiving Day 1777, while the Continental Army was at Whitemarsh. A few weeks later Washington and his army went to Valley Forge. [5]
