Learn about the colony of Pennsylvania, which began when in 1681 King Charles II granted William Penn, a Quaker, sole proprietorship of more than 450,000 acres of North American land. The colony soon offered thousands of European settlers the civil liberties, representative government, and affordable land they wanted, and by 1710 its capital city-Philadelphia-had become the second-largest city in the colonies, after Boston.
