The city of Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania and the sixth most populous city in the United States[1]. It is conterminous with Philadelphia County, and serves as the county seat. It is colloquially referred to as "the City of Brotherly Love" (from Greek: Φιλαδέλφεια, [pʰi.la.ˈdel.pʰeː.a], Modern Greek: [fi.la'ðɛl.fi.a], "brotherly love" from philos "love" and adelphos "brother"). Residents often informally call the city "Philly."
In 2006, the United States Census Bureau estimated the population of the city proper to be over 1.4 million.[2] Philadelphia is a commercial, educational, and cultural center. As of the 2006 population estimate, the Philadelphia metropolitan area was the fifth-largest in the United States with a population of 5.8 million.[3]
The city was once the second-largest in the British Empire, then the most populous city of the United States.[4] It was one of the first capitals. During the 18th century, it briefly eclipsed Boston and New York City in political and social importance, with Benjamin Franklin taking a large role in Philadelphia's early rise to prominence. It was the social and geographical center of the original 13 American colonies. It was in this city that some of the ideas, and subsequent actions, gave birth to the American Revolution and American independence.
