Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, USA

Philadelphia occupies the lower Delaware and Schuylkill river valleys in southeastern Pennsylvania and forms the historic core of one of the nation’s largest metropolitan regions. William Penn founded the city in 1682, and landmarks such as Independence Hall preserve its central place in the American Revolution and the creation of the United States. Rowhouse neighborhoods, major universities, museums, parks and waterfront districts give the city a strong sense of place beyond Center City. Health care, education, finance, logistics, tourism, technology and a deep manufacturing legacy shape its modern economy.
