The Quakers came here in 1681 to settle. In the beginning they lived in caves carved out along the Delaware River. Over 80 homes were quickly built. William Penn called it his "greene countrie towne". The Quakers were hard-working and industrious and this paid off as the town prospered. Many important "firsts" happened in Philadelphia: first American hospital, first medical college, first bank, first paper mill, zoo, sugar refinery, US Mint and more. One of the prominant first citizens was Benjamin Franklin. The first and second continental congress convened here in Philadelphia. The citizens were loyal to their new country and made Philadelphia the headquarters of the American Revolution. Philadelphia was the national capital until 1800 except for a brief time when New York City was the capital. Philadelphia is rich in historical sites. In 1800, the largest USA city was Philadelphia. The top five were Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, Boston and Charleston, South Carolina. Philadelphia continued that distinction until 1830. The motto, The City of Brotherly Love, came from William Penn, the English Quaker, who envisioned the area as a place where anyone of any color or background could live together in peace and harmony, thus, the motto about brotherly love.
