Pennsylvania Relocation Real Estate and Realtors®.
Pennsylvania was named to honor Admiral William Penn and his son,
William Penn, the colony's founder. It means "Penn's Woodland."
Pennsylvania's official flag was adopted in 1907. The flag has a deep blue background. In the center are two harnessed draft horses surrounding a shield picturing a ship, a plow, and 3 sheaves of wheat. Above is a bald eagle. Below are a stalk of corn, an olive branch, and a draped red ribbon that reads,"VIRTUE, LIBERTY, AND INDEPENDENCE."

Rich in historic lore, Pennsylvania territory was disputed in the early 1600s among the Dutch, the Swedes, and the English. England acquired the region in 1664 with the capture of New York, and in 1681 Pennsylvania was granted to William Penn, a Quaker, by King Charles II.
Philadelphia was the seat of the federal government almost continuously from 1776 to 1800; there the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 and the U.S. Constitution drawn up in 1787. Valley Forge, of Revolutionary War fame, and Gettysburg, site of the pivotal battle of the Civil War, are both in Pennsylvania. The Liberty Bell is located in a glass pavilion across from Independence Hall in Philadelphia.
The nation's first oil well was dug at Titusville in 1859, and the
mining of iron ore and coal led to the development of the state's steel
industry.
Pennsylvania's rich heritage draws billions of tourist dollars
annually. Among the chief attractions are the Gettysburg National
Military Park, Valley Forge National Historical Park, Independence
National Historical Park in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Dutch region,
the Eisenhower farm near Gettysburg, and the Delaware Water Gap National
Recreation Area.
Pennsylvania Agriculture: Dairy products, cattle and calves, mushrooms, greenhouse and nursery products, poultry and eggs, a variety of fruits, sweet corn, potatoes, maple syrup, and Christmas trees.
Pennsylvania Industry: Specialty steel, chemicals and pharmaceuticals, food products, and electronic equipment.
