Well.... not Philadelphia county. & Old City may disagree. It just seems that way now.
It is inbetween the Delaware & Schuylkill.

Open google maps and simply look at the orientation/ location of City Hall.

Its in the center of the city.

It's 6 miles from City Hall to City Line Avenue... it's 2 miles to Penn's Landing.

But we're talking about a time where the city plan had South Street as the southern most part of the city. With city hall being the center. Hence center city.

It’s implied. We understand that Philly is an old city that has annexed and grown into areas that were previously not-Philly.
