PhiladelphiaDescription Philadelphia was planned, founded and developed by William Penn, a Quaker in 1682. Based on a grid of streets, a model copied throughout the USA. Under British rule, the city quickly grew in size and importance. In the 1770s, when anti-British sentiment came to a head, 56 men of the Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence in the city. Eleven years later, the Continental Congress met again in the city to write the United States Constituation. |
