Philadelphia sealPhiladelphia, nicknamed Philly, is the largest city in the state of Pennsylvania, and the sixth-most populated city in the U.S.

Philadelphia is located along the lower Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers. The city grew from an influx of European immigrants, most of whom came from Italy, Ireland and Germany. In the early 20th century, Philadelphia became a prime destination for African Americans during the Great Migration after the Civil War, as well as Puerto Ricans.

The Philadelphia area’s many universities and colleges make it a top study destination, as the city has evolved into an educational and economic hub. Philadelphia is the center of economic activity in Pennsylvania and is home to five Fortune 1000 companies.
