Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, is one of the oldest counties in the country and is full of history. The two most important documents in United States history – The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution – were both written and signed here, and the city of Philadelphia was even the country’s capital for a short time. With illustrious citizens like Benjamin Franklin and Rocky to boast of, this county is a dream for any history lover as well as anyone who just loves a good time.

There is an eclectic blend of cobblestones and architecture with trendy eateries, pubs and shopping destinations. While enjoying the county where the first US flag was stitched, you can catch a game from one of the seven professional sports teams representing Philadelphia County. In the midst of all the city attractions, you can even find some natural beauty. In addition to the zoological gardens – the first in the country and founded by Ben Franklin – you will enjoy the more than two million trees that grace Philadelphia. History finds a great balance with the present, providing something for everyone.
