dutch republic
the province of pennsylvania, also known as the pennsylvania colony, was founded in english north america by william penn on march 4, 1681 as dictated in a royal charter granted by king charles ii. the name pennsylvania, which translates roughly as "penn's woods", was created by combining the penn surname (in honor of william's father, admiral sir william penn) with the latin word "sylvania", meaning "forest land". the province of pennsylvania was one of the two major restoration colonies, the other being the province of carolina. the proprietary colony's charter remained in the hands of the penn family until the american revolution, when the commonwealth of pennsylvania was created and became one of the original thirteen states. "the lower counties on delaware", a separate colony within the province, would breakaway during the american revolution as "the delaware state" and also be one of the original thirteen states.
