Heritage status for Philly

#PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, has become the first #WorldHeritageCity in the United States. 

‘From its colonial history to the present day, Philadelphia has rightfully earned its place as one of the greatest cities in the world,’ said Deputy Mayor Alan Greenberger.  

The city is the home of Independence Hall, where America's Founding Fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the US constitution in 1787.

‘As the birthplace of America, with its rich heritage of history, arts, and culture, Philadelphia has so much to offer the world,’ said Jack Ferguson, president and CEO of the Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau.  ‘The World Heritage City designation will help to attract even more tourists and conventions to Philadelphia.’

The city was founded in 1682 by William Penn as the capital of the Pennsylvania Colony.
