Pennsylvania is Misspelled on the Liberty Bell. Share this: Because no clearly accepted spelling of the colonyâs name existed at the time the Liberty Bell was cast, the stateâs name on the bell is misspelled-Pensylvania. Found in: Trivia.
From Signal to Symbol. The State House bell, now known as the Liberty Bell, rang in the tower of the Pennsylvania State House. Today, we call that building Independence Hall. Speaker of the Pennsylvania Assembly Isaac Norris first ordered a bell for the bell tower in 1751 from the Whitechapel Foundry in London.
