The record gives only the title "Philadelphia" and its place on the Cities board, so the picture is best read through its subject. Philadelphia was founded in 1682 by William Penn as a Quaker colony on the Delaware River, and it grew into one of the largest and most important ports and manufacturing centers in colonial and early national America. It served as the capital of the United States during the Revolutionary era, and Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed, still anchors its historic core.
