The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania often colloquially referred to as PA (its postal abbreviation, which
succeeds the archaic Penn. and
Penna. as common
abbreviations) by natives and Northeasterners, is a state
located in the Northeastern and Middle Atlantic regions of
the United States. The state borders Delaware
and Maryland
to the south, West Virginia to the
southwest, Ohio
to the west, New
York and a water border with Canada
to the north, and New Jersey to the east. The
state's most populous city is Philadelphia. Pennsylvania
has been known as the Keystone State
since 1802, based in part upon its central location among the original Thirteen Colonies forming
the United States. Pennsylvania is also nicknamed the "Keystone
State" because of the number of important American documents signed in
the state (such as the Declaration of Independence).
It was also a keystone state economically, having both the industry common to
the North (making such wares as Conestoga
wagonsand riflesand the
agriculture common to the South (producing feed,
fiber, food, and tobacco).
