The Pennsylvania Colony as we know it was chartered by William Penn in 1681. The name Pennsylvania actually means "Penn's Woods." Before this, parts of the land that would become our second state had been owned by England, as well as the Dutch, and it had originally been settled by the Delaware, Susquehannock and a number of other Native Americans.
