== == == == == == It was founded as a proprietary colony by William Penn, the Younger, who received its charter from Charles II, Restoration monarch of England. Penn was a Quaker, who hoped that the new colony would provide refuge for that persecuted radical religious sect. He also hoped to profit from the trade goods produced in the colony.
