There are too many things to properly answer this question. There are so many firsts that happened here. There are many famous sons and daughters (past and present). The thing that we are probably most famous for, is Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. It was here in Philadelphia, that the Founding Fathers met in 1776 to declare our independence from the rule of England. And, it was here that they met again in 1787 to design the framework of the government that we still live with today. If there was nothing else, that would pobably be enough.
