Unique Things About Pennsylvania

Unique things about Pennsylvania

• Unlike other colonies they have more calm winters
• Pennsylvania is one of the bread basket colonies—because they make the most wheat and sell it to the other colonies

Come to our colony because...

• We make the most wheat and bread, and have good land for farming
• We have religious freedom
• FUN FACT-Pennsylvania was named Pennsylvania because King Gorge the ll wanted to use part of William Penn's name. So he combined Penn + Sylvania which is a Latin word meaning woodland.
• We have beautiful landscape with mountains, a lake, farmland, and woodlands
