The First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry, founded in 1774, is one of the oldest and most decorated military units still in active service in the U. S. Army Reserves. During the Revolution, the troop fought in the battles of Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, and Germantown. During the Civil War, they were called into active duty several times, beginning with the 1861 Campaign that led to the First Battle of Bull Run. The Company notably performed scouting duties leading into the Battle of Gettysburg.
