Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania (English Commonwelath of Pennsylvania) is one of the US states.
Capital: Harrisburg
The first European settlers in what is now Pennsylvania were the Swedes and the Dutch. In 1681, the English King Charles II gave the young English Quaker William Penn a large territory west of the Delaware River. In 1682, Penn founded a colony of refuge for Protestants of the “Society of Friends” (the official name of the Quakers) and others persecuted for their faith. In honor of Penn’s father, an admiral in the Royal Navy, the colony was named Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania – in Latin Penn Silvania – Wooded land of Penn.
Then William Penn, who professed the idea of brotherly love between fellow believers, founded the city, which he came up with the name Philadelphia, which in ancient Greek means City of brotherly love.
For half a century the experiment was successful, but then, as a result of skirmishes with the Indians, many colonists of Irish and German origin died. The Quakers (unlike the Puritans in New England) refused to oppose force to the Indians, because they could not compromise their moral principles – rejection of wars and violence, religious tolerance – and were forced to leave the political scene of the colony.
In 1751, the first hospital in the British colonies was opened in Pennsylvania, and the first university, the University of Pennsylvania, was founded. In 1790, Pennsylvania was the first North American state to pass a slave emancipation law.
Pennsylvania actively participated in the Revolutionary War. In 1776, the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the official name of the state) was adopted. Then in Philadelphia the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed by the Second Continental Congress and Pennsylvania, along with twelve other former North American colonies of Great Britain, formed the United States of America.

Oil Region National Heritage Area
The Oil Region National Monument includes areas of Venago County, Oil Creek Township, and eastern Crawford County. The center of the region is the city of Titusville in northwestern Pennsylvania. In 1859, Colonel Edwin Drake managed to build the first commercial oil well in this landscape. This was the beginning of the development of the local oil industry, the importance of which is still evident in everyday life, economy, society and politics. It is the birthplace of the oil industry
The landscape is littered with many artifacts dating back to the oil extraction era. The picturesque Victorian valley is interspersed with riverbeds, on the plateau we can find agricultural land, forests and an industrial landscape. Today’s visitors have the opportunity to see the sights of the past and at the same time receive a warm welcome and hospitality from the local residents. The area is ideal for year-round recreation.
On December 7, 2004, US President George W. Bush in the 108th Congress declared the area a national monument, making the Oil Region the nation’s 25th national monument in the United States. Today it is under the protection of the National Park Service and preserves unique natural, cultural, historical and scenic monuments. On an area of 708 square kilometers, there are 33 municipalities housing interesting museums, buildings, historical sites, railways, churches and art workshops.
