When you visit with your 15 passenger van rental, you will find that Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania and the sixth-most-populous city in the country. Often it is referred to as Philly or the City of Brotherly Love.

What happened here?

Philadelphia was the location of the Delaware Indians. The first settlements in the area were the Dutch, British, and Swedish. The Swedish wanted to expand their trade of tobacco and fur. This was part of New Netherland until there was a charter for Pennsylvania in 1682. The charter was as a result of a debt repayment from Charles II to William Penn. Penn also bought land from the Lenape because he wanted to be on good terms with them. As a Quaker, Penn understood religious persecution and wanted people to worship freely here. Soon, the city grew and established itself as a trading center. When you visit with your 15 passenger van rental you will find that there were many important historic events that took place here, including the signing of the Declaration of Independence from the British Empire.
