FACTSWilliam Penn made the state now called Pennsylvania which means "Penn's Woods"

It was granted to William Penn in lieu of money as payment of debt that was owed to his father. He embraced the Quaker lifestyle and made Pennsylvania a haven for Quakers and religious liberties.Pennsylvania was founded by William Penn. He did not fully agree with the Puritans so he became a Quaker. Quakers are people who do not like war.
Penn came to America because he made a deal with some ruling authority (I forget who, but I believe it may have been the king). Said authority didn't tolerate Quakers like Penn, but he owed William's father a favor, so he gave Penn a plot of land in America, where he and the other Quakers went, settling in modern-day Pennsylvania.
William Penn was the founder of New York and New Jersey.Because William Penn was the founder of PennsylvaniaWell we all should know he was a founder of Pennsylvania but... Why was he also the founder of New york and New Jersey? Well he was a very famous founder and he wanted his own beliefs. But he didn't just find stuff he made rules with his thoughts and he wanted a peace settlement answer is Penn = Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
He gave the state it's name from his. Originally they referred to it as "Penn's Woods". In about 1737 he stole land (approximately 1,200,000 acres) in an unfair "Walking Purchase" from the Lenape Indians. The indians walked and William Penn had a team of runners.
William Penn founded Pennsylvania on March,4,1681 for two reasons: To make money and to provide the Quakers a safe haven in the American colonies. Penn considered his attempt a "Holy Experiment." Pennsylvania accepted all colonists who believed in one God. Because many colonists of differing beliefs were allowed to settle in Pennsylvania, the colony prospered. Dutch, Germans, Swiss, as well as British Quakers settled the area.William Penn wanted to name Pennsylvania "Sylvania" which means woods, but King Charles II wanted to name Pennsylvania "Penn" because of Williams dad's (and Willam's) last name was Penn. So King Charles II and William made an agreement and put their 2 ideas together. "PENN" and "SYLVANIA" put it together it makes PENNSYLVANIA.William Penn
