State of Pennsylvania

In the 1600s England, Sweden and Holland competed for control of Pennsylvania. When England captured the city of New York in 1664, Pennsylvania became an English possession. In 1681 King Charles II granted the region to William Penn, a Quaker, who named it Pennsylvania, Latin for Penn’s Woods.

From 1776 to 1800 the federal government convened in Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, and the Constitution approved in 1787. Other historic sites in Pennsylvania are Independence Mall where the Liberty Bell is kept, Valley Forge, Washington’s Crossing and Gettysburg, site of the Civil War battle.

The capital of Pennsylvania is Harrisburg, and major cities are Philadelphia, Pittsburgh Allentown, Erie and Reading. Population in 2005 was 12,429616. Mining iron ore and coal led to the beginning of the state’s steel industry. Specialty steel is still a major product, as well as electronics, pharmaceuticals, machinery and food products. Agriculture is a major contributor to the economy. Farms produce dairy products, eggs, cattle and calves, mushrooms, poultry, tobacco, soy beans, corn and potatoes.

Tourism is a major industry. The Gettysburg National Military Park, Independence Mall in Philadelphia, Valley Forge and the Pennsylvania Dutch Country all attract millions of tourists. Pennsylvania is also a great region for hunting and fishing. The Pocono Mountains have long been a major tourist destination, with a busy winter sports season.
