FACTS ABOUT PENNSYLVANIA
A GREAT TEAM BUILDING LOCATION

Pennsylvania is one of four states of the United States of America that is called a commonwealth. In honor of Adm. Sir William Penn, father of William Penn. It means “Penn’s Woodland.” Often called the Keystone State. Pennsylvania is one of the U.S.’s most historic states. The word “keystone” comes from architecture and refers to the central, wedge-shaped stone in an arch, which holds all the other stones in place. The application of the term “Keystone State” to Pennsylvania cannot be traced to any single source. It was commonly accepted soon after 1800. At a Jefferson Republican victory rally in October 1802, Pennsylvania was toasted as “the keystone in the federal union,” and in the newspaper Aurora the following year the state was referred to as “the keystone in the democratic arch.” The modern persistence of this designation is justified in view of the key position of Pennsylvania in the economic, social, and political development of the United States.

Philadelphia, is often seen as the cradle of the American Nation. It was here that the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were drawn up by the Founding Fathers.

Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790) one of the more important figures in Pennsylvania and United States history. Although he was born in Boston, Massachusetts he came to Philadelphia as a young man. He founded the University of Pennsylvania in 1742, had the distinction of signing both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution and is buried with his wife Deborah in Christ Church Cemetery in Philadelphia.

Stephen Foster was born in Pittsburgh on July 4, 1826. He was the pre-eminent songwriter in the United States of his era. Many of his songs, such as “Oh! Susanna”, “Camptown Races”, and “Beautiful Dreamer”, are still popular over 150 years after their composition.

Pennsylvania has been the setting for dozens of major films, including The Philadelphia Story (1940), The Blob (1958), Night of the Living Dead (1968), Rocky (1976), The Deer Hunter (1978), Dawn of the Dead (1979), All the Right Moves (1983), Flashdance (1983), Philadelphia (1993), That Thing You Do!
