THE FOUNDING OF PHILADELPHIA The woodlands were alive with color when William Penn arrived for the first time, in 1682. It was late October, still the best time of the year in the Northeast. !t he wasn"t there to admire the countryside. #e had already $iven it a name, of co!rse. It was the same name as that of one of the early %hristian cities in &sia 'inor which, when translated, means (%ity of rotherly )ove*. (1) Penn borrowed the name from them beca!se it s!ited +erfectly the ideal comm!nity he had in mind. The s+ot he +ic,ed, on the ban,s of the -elaware .iver, had a small harbor and a beach. (!) What he wanted, he said, was a ($reen co!ntry town*. In his travels he had seen the $reat cities of /!ro+e and hadn"t always li,ed what he saw. (") #is new city wo!ld have a +lan for $rowth and that, he was convinced, wo!ld ma,e it one of the $reat cities of the world. 0or o+eners, he ordered that Philadel+hia wo!ld have no croo#ed streets. ($) #e told his s!rveyors that he also wanted the roads to lead o!t of the city, so that it wo!ld be convenient to reach other cities yet !nb!ilt. #e s+ecified that no ho!ses co!ld be b!ilt within 211 +aces of the harbor so there wo!ld be +lenty of room for a f!t!re commercial center, and he as,ed that home b!ilders center their str!ct!res on b!ildin$ lots (2so there may be $ro!nd on each side for $ardens, orc%ards or field, that it may be a $reen co!ntry town which will never be b!rnt and will always be wholesome.* Harris: Pennsylvania I& 1& a& Four sentences %a'e (een re)o'ed *ro) t%e te+t& ,elect t%e a--ro-riate sentence *or eac% .a- in t%e te+t& T%ere is one e+tra sentence w%ic% you do not need to use& /rite your answers on t%e Answer ,%eet& 0 -oints A They wo!ld all be strai$ht and wide, and they wo!ld all lead to the river.
