England states, except Maine, with
New Jersey thrown In for good meas
ure. Its name means "Penn's Wood
land" and was so named by King
Charles II, who granted this territory
to the Quaker William Penn, and
named it in commemoratiOn Of PENIS
father, who had been q distinguished
admiral and on terms of peculiar
friendship and intimacy with the royal
family. This grant was made in lieu
of 916,O00, which the king owed Ad-
miral Penn. On this basis original
ly cost about So square mile.
Pennsylvania has assumed such an
important place among the states that
1t is often called the Keystone state.
This term was probably derived orig
inally because her name was carved
on the keystone Of the bridge over
Rock creek, between Washington and
Georgetown. Later on 1t was applied
on account of the great Importance Of
the state in national elections. Its
delegation to congress totals 38, sec
York, and Pennsylvania accordingly
has 3S presidential electors.
William Penn first came over to
America in 1852. The following year
he laid out the city of Philadelphia, or
"Brotherly Love-" which was named
after a biblical city in Asia Minor. As
Pennsylvania was the only colony
without a seacoast, Penn obtained
from the duke of York the control of
Delaware, and until the Revolution
these two provinces were under the
same proprietary government. Quar-
rels with Maryland over boundaries
caused formal survey to be made by
two surveyors, Mason and Dixon, and
1t was this which became famous dur
ing the Civil war as the Mason and
Dixon line, the dividing mark between
the slave and the free states.
