Dutch and Swedish settlers established farms in the area now known as Philadelphia in the early 1600's. In 1623 when the Dutch established a trading post on land that is now the City of Philadelphia. In 1681, Charles II granted William Penn a charter to the land west of the Delaware river. William Penn selected the location for the principal city in this colony and named the city "Philadelphia". He laid out the street plan for the city in 1682. In 1701, William Penn chartered the City of Philadelphia.
