History

William Penn planned the city after a partial repayment of the debt, Charles II of England granted Penn a charter for what would become the Pennsylvania colony.  He bought the land to ensure peace for the city or colony.  He wanted to build this on the Delaware River and wanted to have it be more like an English rural town. William Penn laid out the roads on a grid plan. Yea, that didn’t happen. 

As mentioned above, Philadelphia served as the temporary capital of the United States of America, while DC and the U.S. Capitol were being built.

The city hosted  First continental congress (1744), but the revolutionary War. Second Continental Congress 1775-76 which signed the United States Declaration of Independence.  Constitutional Convention 1787 after the war.

It is the sixth-most populous U.S. which has 1,584,138 as of 2018.  It is the largest city in Pennsylvania.
