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.
Also inscribed on the Bell is the quotation, By Order of the Assembly of the Province of Pensylvania for the State House in Philada.. Note that the spelling of Pennsylvania was not at that time universally adopted. In fact, in the original Constitution, the name of the state is also spelled Pensylvania..
