Pennsylvania history: First settlers were Swedish, 1643, on Tinicum is. In 1655 the Dutch seized the settlement but lost it to the British, 1664. The region was given by Charles II to William Penn, 1681. Philadelphia (brotherly love) was the capital of the colonies during most of the Revolution, and of the U. S., 1790-1800. Philadelphia was taken by the British, 1777; Washington's troops encamped at Valley Forge in the bitter winter of 1777-1778. The Declaration of Independence, 1776, and the Constitution, 1787, were signed in Philadelphia.
