Skyline view of the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from the Benjamin Franklin Bridge at sunset. Opened in 1926, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge is a suspension bridge over the Delaware River, connecting Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Camden, New Jersey. 

William Penn (1644 to 1718), an English Quaker and an early advocate of democracy and religious freedom, founded the city of Philadelphia in 1682 to serve as capital of the Pennsylvania Colony. Penn named the city Philadelphia, which is Greek for "brotherly love," derived from the Ancient Greek terms φίλος phílos (beloved, dear) and ἀδελφός adelphós (brother, brotherly). As a Quaker, Penn had experienced religious persecution and wanted his colony to be a place where anyone could worship freely. (Wikipedia.org)
