Philadelphia is located at the mouth of the Delaware bay. The grounds of today's Philadelphia belonged previously to the well-known Indian tribe of Delaware. For Americans, Philadelphia has a special, symbolic meaning, because it was here that the United States Declaration of Independence was signed, the Constitution was adopted and the Union was created. For 10 years, Philadelphia was even the capital of the state. Today, it is the largest city in Pennsylvania, an important commercial, educational and cultural center.
