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.
The bell â now officially deemed the Liberty Bell â was cast in the Whitechapel Foundry in the East End of London and subsequently sent to Independence Hall, known at the time as the Pennsylvania State House, in 1753. It was an impressive looking object, 12 feet in circumference around the lip with a 44-pound clapper.
