The original bell requested on November 1, 1751, cast by Whitechapel Bellfoundary, and delivered to the U.S. in September 1752, was "test" rung in March of 1753...this is the official first ringing of the first Liberty Bell...and this bell cracked upon the first strike of the bell-clapper.

The Liberty Bell was recast twice by John Pass and John Stowe (Who's names appear on the bell we know today) and is the bell we see today. It was first rung on July 4, 1776 (according to an 1847 short story and historians, but exact date is not officially documented). It hung for years in the steeple of the Pennsylvania State House (today known as Independence Hall ), and was used to summon lawmakers to legislative sessions and to alert citizens to public meetings and proclamations. Bells were rung to mark the reading of the Declaration on July 8, 1776, and while there is no contemporary account of the Liberty Bell ringing, most historians believe it was one of the bells rung. It is said to have cracked while ringing the death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1857, but again there is no official documentation.
