Date Historical Event
Pre - 1638 Coaquannock, meaning “the grove of long pine trees,” the land which now includes Philadelphia, was home to the Lenni-Lenape nation.
1638 - 1655 Dutch and Swedish settlers arrived in Lënapehòkink. The land was incorporated into the colonies of New Sweden and New Netherlands over time. It was first colonized by the Dutch, through the Dutch West India Company in 1643.
1667 King Charles II in England claimed the area, creating a new British colony.
1681 King Charles II granted the area to William Penn for the debt he owned Penn’s father. The province was named Pennsylvania, meaning “Penn’s woodlands.” Philadelphia became its first planned city.
1684 One hundred fifty Angolan people were kidnapped from their homes, trafficked across the Atlantic Ocean, and arrived in Philadelphia aboard Isabella, which began its trip in Bristol, England. They were sold into enslavement by Quaker settlers to prepare the land and build up the new city.
1693 George Keith and fellow Quakers of the Monthly Meeting in Philadelphia published An Exhortation & Caution To Friends Concerning Buying or Keeping of Negroes. They declared slavery was contrary to Christian principles. It is known as the first protest to enslavement printed in North America.
