The Act of Consolidation, more formally known as the act of February 2, 1854, was enacted by General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and approved February 2, 1854 by then-Governor William Bigler. This act consolidated all remaining townships, districts, and boroughs within the County of Philadelphia, dissolving their governmental structures and bringing all municipal authority within the county under the auspices of the Philadelphia government. Additionally, any other unincorporated communities were included in the consolidation. The consolidation was drafted to help combat lawlessness that the many local governments could not handle separately and to bring in much-needed tax revenue for the city.
