It is the birthplace of the United States and the nation's original capital from 1790 to 1800. In one of the great experiments of the British colonies, it was founded in 1682, by the English Quaker William Penn. Penn contemplated Philadelphia as a progressive city which would not harbor intolerance or religious restrictions.
