Dubbed the “City of Brotherly Love” by its founder William Penn who envisioned the area as a place where people of all backgrounds could live together in peace, Philadelphia is a city richly steeped in history.
It was here that the first Continental Congress was held, and the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were signed. Philly is home to the Liberty Bell, America’s symbol of freedom and the Betsy Ross House, where the famous flag maker rented a room.
Scientist, inventor and statesman Ben Franklin called Philadelphia home. In 1749, Franklin is said to have demonstrated his theory of electricity in the now downtown area by drawing lightning from the clouds by means of a kite. Two years later, at the solicitation of Franklin and Dr. Thomas Bond, Pennsylvania Hospital, the first such establishment in North America was chartered to the relief of the sick and suffering.
