What City was once named Philadelphia?

Apart from the city of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, a number of other places have also borne this name including three other towns and one village in the United States, one village in Germany (now part of the town of Storkow) and a village in Tyne and Wear, England (named after the American Philadelphia was captured by the British and complete with a Cricket ground named Bunker Hill after a battle at the siege of Boston during the War of Independence). Historically, Alaşehir, a town and district in the Aegean region of Turkey, was known as Philadelphia and an archaeological site is at Darb el-Gerza to uncover the remains of a historical town there called Philadelphia. The only other city named Philadelphia was Amman in Jordan. Called Rabbath Ammon or Rabat Amon by the Ammonites, it was renamed Philadelphia by Ptolemy II Philadelphus, the Greek ruler of Egypt, after it was captured by the Greeks
