It was a colony under William Penn, a Quaker. William was friends with the King of England, Charles II. The king had owed William Penn's father, but he died, so he gave William Penn Pennsylvania for the debt. Pennsylvania was a well governed colony. It was the signing place of the Constitution. Pennsylvania was the most important place of signing documents. Ben Franklin lived in Pennsylvania, too.
