Pennsylvania is one of
four states of the United States of America that is called a commonwealth.
It has given its name to the Pennsylvanian time period in geology.
Pennsylvania is called the Keystone State.
Pennsylvania's most important city is Philadelphia
Although Swedes and Dutch were the first European settlers, the
Quaker William Penn named Pennsylvania for the Latin phrase meaning
"Penn's Woods", in honor of his father. Today, two major
cities dominate the state—Philadelphia, home of the Liberty
Bell, Independence Hall, and a thriving metropolitan area, and Pittsburgh,
a busy inland river port and major center for educational and technological
advances. The Pocono Mountains and the Delaware Water Gap provide
popular recreational activities.
Pennsylvania is one of the U.S.'s most historic states. Philadelphia
is often called the cradle of the American Nation. It was here that
the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were drawn
up by the Founding Fathers.
The so-called "Pennsylvania Dutch" region in south-central
Pennsylvania is another favorite of sightseers. Pennsylvania Germans,
including the Amish and the Mennonites, dominate the area around
the cities of Lancaster, York, and Harrisburg, with smaller numbers
extending northeast to the Lehigh Valley and up the Susquehanna
River valley. Some of the Old Order Amish have left the area, but
many Mennonites remain, particularly in Lancaster County. Some adherents
eschew modern conveniences and use horse-drawn farming equipment
and carriages, while others are virtually indistinguishable from
non-Amish or Mennonites.
Note: The term "Dutch" is, modernly, a misnomer. Originally,
all of the peoples of the Holy Roman Empire - including the Belgians,
Dutch, Austrians, Swiss, etc., were called "Dutch" - from
the Low German "Duutsch," meaning "German" (or,
very literally, "of the people"). The words "German"
(which means "related" or "similar") and "Dutch"
were used interchangeably in a generic ethno-cultural context until
the years following World War II.
The battleship USS Pennsylvania, damaged at Pearl Harbor, was named
in honor of this state, as were several other naval vessels. It
was repaired at the former Sun Ship Yard & Dry Dock in Chester
City.
