Philadelphia: South Philadelphia
Philadelphia sits on the Delaware River in southeastern Pennsylvania, where a compact grid of rowhouse neighborhoods extends inland from a long commercial waterfront. Founded by William Penn in 1682, the city became a defining centre of the American Revolution: the Declaration of Independence was adopted at Independence Hall in 1776, and the Constitution was drafted there in 1787. South Philadelphia combines residential blocks with transport and port infrastructure, while I-95 follows the Delaware corridor through the city. The Schuylkill River meets the Delaware south of Center City, whose towers form the region’s principal business district. The Italian Market and the large sports complex add further character to this densely built southern side of Philadelphia.

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.
