The nickname of the state is the “Keystone State”. The name of the state means “Penn’s woods” or “Penn’s land”. It referred to land that King Charles II of England gave to Quaker William Penn in repayment of a debt owed to his father. At first, Penn hoped to name the land Sylvania. The state motto is virtue, liberty, and independence. The two major cities in Pennsylvania are Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, a busy inland river port. The Amish, a group of people who live without the use of modern technology, live in the countryside of Pennsylvania. The capital is Harrisburg.
