It served as a model for urban planning and tolerance.
William Penn laid out Philadelphia with a planned grid and public squares and intended it as a tolerant “holy experiment” for Quakers and other religious minorities. (It was the colony’s capital, but not primarily a farming town or a military base; its later role as the U.S. capital is separate from Pennsylvania’s founding.)
