Pennsylvania Fun Facts

Pennsylvania was named for Admiral, Sir William Penn, father of the Quaker William Penn. The land was granted to him in 1681 by King Charles II, and means "Penn's Woods". Since six colonies were above, and six below, Pennsylvania acted as the "keystone" to hold them all together.  It contained the first capital and was the seat of government until about 1800. As one of the original colonies, Pennsylvania entered the Union on December 12, 1787, the second state to do so. Residents call themselves Pennsylvanians.
