Philadelphia
Among the places of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia stands out for its role in the founding of the United States and for the Schuylkill River running through its urban core. The river long supported industry, transport and water supply; today its banks bring together rail lines, major roads, university districts and parkland. I-76, known locally as the Schuylkill Expressway, follows part of this corridor and ties Philadelphia to the Pennsylvania Turnpike and western suburbs. East of the river, Independence Hall is where the Declaration of Independence was adopted and the US Constitution was drafted and signed. That civic legacy, together with the city’s dense nineteenth- and twentieth-century fabric, gives Philadelphia a character unlike any other Pennsylvania city.

Pennsylvania stretches from the shore of Lake Erie to the Delaware River, encompassing Appalachian ridges, plateaus and broad river valleys. Near the state’s geographic centre, the West Branch Susquehanna and its tributaries run through forested country, while the main Susquehanna continues south towards Chesapeake Bay. Philadelphia gives Pennsylvania an enduring place in the story of the United States: Independence Hall was the setting for the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the signing of the Constitution.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
