Philadelphia: South Philadelphia
The Delaware River defines the eastern setting of Philadelphia — a broad tidal waterway that frames a city spread between it and the Schuylkill River. Founded by William Penn in 1682, Philadelphia developed into a major colonial port and hosted meetings of the Continental Congress. Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was adopted and the U.S. Constitution was drafted, remains central to the city’s civic identity. South Philadelphia adds another layer, with long blocks of brick rowhouses, commercial corridors, Italian Market traditions, sports venues and working transport routes. Its streets connect neighborhoods shaped by successive immigrant communities, while Center City’s skyline rises north of the older residential fabric.

Pennsylvania stretches from the shore of Lake Erie to the Delaware River, encompassing Appalachian ridges, plateaus and broad river valleys.

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.
