apr 28, 1681 - Founding of Pennslyvania

Description:

After Penn's late father died, Penn was given a charter of land to settle the king's debt to his father. He named the new colony after his father. Though the new colony held some of the richest soil and minerals of the colonies, it ended up never being entirely profitable.
