Angora is a neighborhood in the Southwest section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.

Although its boundaries are not precise, it is roughly bounded by the Cobbs Creek neighborhood to the north, Cobbs Creek to the west, Kingsessing to the south and east, and Cedar Park to the east.

[citation needed] The neighborhood was founded by Robert and George Callaghan in 1863, who named it for Ankara, the city in Turkey.

The landscape was sparsely populated for decades, and a surrounding woodland provided a bucolic environment seemingly separate from the city of which it was part.

This industry was accompanied by the relatively limited development of residential areas within the neighborhood, mainly restricted to the 5800 block of Baltimore Avenue (between 1918 and 1920) and to an area that once was a grove of trees, known as Sherwood Forest.
