Reading (IPA:/'r?d??/) is the county seat of Berks County, Pennsylvania and the center of the Greater Reading Area. In the 2000 census, the city had a population of 81,207, making it the fifth largest city in Pennsylvania after Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, and Erie, and the sixth largest municipality after Upper Darby Township.
Overlooking the city on Mount Penn is Reading's symbol, a Japanese pagoda visible from everywhere in town and referred to familiarly as "the Pagoda".
Duryea Drive, which ascends Mount Penn in a series of sharp bends, was a testing place for early automobiles.
The city lent its name to the now-defunct Reading Railroad, which brought anthracite coal from the Pennsylvania Coal Regions. The railroad is one of the four railroad properties in the classic English-language version of the Monopoly board game.
Reading was one of the first localities where outlet shopping became a tourist industry.
