Facts about Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Philadelphia is one of the country’s most historic cities. William Penn is known as the founder of both Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, but the Dutch 1623 and the Swedish 1638  were the first settlers in the region. Independence Hall was completed as the Pennsylvania State House in 1753 and served in that function until 1799. The world’s first electronic computer, the Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer, was built at the University of Pennsylvania in 1946. At 37 feet in height, the William Penn statue at City Hall is the tallest statue atop a building in the world.  Other than Paris, no other city in the world is home to more Impressionist paintings. The Rosenbach Museum is one of the world’s greatest rare book libraries, and is home to some of the rarest books and manuscripts in the world. Philadelphia is home to the only historic covered bridge that still remains in a major U.S. city: Thomas Mill Covered Bridge. The Liberty Bell was crafted as the bell for Pennsylvania’s State House. It wasn’t called the Liberty Bell until the 1800s.

Philly’s signature variety is the soft pretzel, an everyday treat purchased from a street vendor, corner store or from a multi-location bakery Philadelphian’s consume 12 times more pretzels each year than the average American. The ultimate iconic Philly food must be the cheesesteak. Imitated by many, but invented by Pat Olivieri of Pat’s Steaks in 1930. Cheese wasn’t added to the city’s famous cheesesteak until the 1940s, 10 years after the steak sandwich was invented. While its name is somewhat confusing, water ice is a perfectly logical solution for those in need of relief on a hot Philadelphia summer day. Made with thick, focaccia-like dough, fresh tomato sauce and sometimes a hint of grated Romano cheese, parmesan or oregano, tomato pie is a staple at many Italian bakeries and eateries in Philadelphia. In 1928, accountant Walter Diemer of Fleer Chewing Gum Company discovered a stretchy variant that would allow chewers to create bubbles. He presented it to the president of the company, who dubbed it Dubble Bubble & its still a well known brand. Why is it pink? That was the only color of dye they had on hand.

Philadelphia

Philadelphia, sometimes known colloquially as Philly, is the largest city in the U.S. state and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the sixth-most populous U.S. city, with a 2017 census-estimated population of 1,580,863.[7] Since 1854, the city has been coterminous with Philadelphia County, the most populous county in Pennsylvania and the urban core of the eighth-largest U.S. metropolitan statistical area, with over 6 million residents as of 2017[update].[5] Philadelphia is also the economic and cultural anchor of the greater Delaware Valley, located along the lower Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers, within the Northeast megalopolis. The Delaware Valley’s population of 7.2 million ranks it as the eighth-largest combined statistical area in the United States.[6]

William Penn, an English Quaker, founded the city in 1682 to serve as capital of the Pennsylvania Colony.[10] Philadelphia played an instrumental role in the American Revolution as a meeting place for the Founding Fathers of the United States, who signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776 at the Second Continental Congress, and the Constitution at the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. Several other key events occurred in Philadelphia during the Revolutionary War including the First Continental Congress, the preservation of the Liberty Bell, the Battle of Germantown, and the Siege of Fort Mifflin. Philadelphia was one of the nation’s capitals during the revolution, and served as temporary U.S. capital while Washington, D.C., was under construction. In the 19th century, Philadelphia became a major industrial center and a railroad hub. The city grew from an influx of European immigrants, most of whom came from Ireland, Italy and Germany—the three largest reported ancestry groups in the city as of 2015[update].[11] In the early 20th century, Philadelphia became a prime destination for African Americans during the Great Migration after the Civil War,[12] as well as Puerto Ricans.[13] The city’s population doubled from one million to two million people between 1890 and 1950.

The Philadelphia area’s many universities and colleges make it a top study destination, as the city has evolved into an educational and economic hub.[14][15] According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Philadelphia area had a gross domestic product of US$445 billion in 2017, the eighth-largest metropolitan economy in the United States.[16] Philadelphia is the center of economic activity in Pennsylvania and is home to five Fortune 1000 companies. The Philadelphia skyline is expanding, with a market of almost 81,900 commercial properties in 2016,[17] including several nationally prominent skyscrapers.[18] Philadelphia has more outdoor sculptures and murals than any other American city.[19][20] Fairmount Park, when combined with the adjacent Wissahickon Valley Park in the same watershed, is one of the largest contiguous urban park areas in the United States.[21] The city is known for its arts, culture, cuisine, and colonial history, attracting 42 million domestic tourists in 2016 who spent US$6.8 billion, generating an estimated $11 billion in total economic impact in the city and surrounding four counties of Pennsylvania.[22] Philadelphia has also emerged as a biotechnology hub.[23]
