In 1682, William Penn founded the city of Philadelphia to serve as the capital of the Pennsylvania Colony. Philadelphia went on to play an instrumental role in the American Revolution: it served as a meeting place of the Founding Fathers of the United States. The Declaration of Independence of 1776 as well as the Constitution of 1787 were both devised and signed in Philadelphia.
