概要

In this episode, we trace Philadelphia’s story from its Lenape roots and early European rivalries to William Penn’s founding vision and the city’s rise as a port of ideas. We follow the Revolutionary era at Independence Hall, the 1790s when Philadelphia served as the nation’s capital and endured the 1793 yellow fever epidemic, and the 1800s transformation into an industrial powerhouse shaped by canals, rail, parks, and rowhouse neighborhoods. Along the way, we visit enduring landmarks like Fairmount Water Works, Eastern State Penitentiary, City Hall, and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, and we bring the narrative into the late 20th century and beyond—through reform, the MOVE bombing, a changing skyline, and the city’s modern identity expressed in public art.
