About Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania, officially a commonwealth, is the only state among the original Thirteen Colonies without an Atlantic coastline.

Its neighbors include Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, New York and New Jersey, and it touches Lake Erie in the northwest.

It became the second state to ratify the Constitution, on December 12, 1787.

The earliest known signs of people in the state, more than 10,000 years old, were found at Meadowcroft Rockshelter in Jefferson Township.

Pennsylvania leads all states in making pretzels and potato chips.

Independence Hall in Philadelphia is where the Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776.
