Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was where both the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution were devised and signed.

New York and Philadelphia were both used as temporary capitals during the Revolutionary war as either was captured by the British or liberated, but by the end of the war, Philadelphia was the capital of the United States, and would remain that way as the United States government slowly shifted to the newly built Washington City as various Federal buildings like the White House were completed. John Adams was the first President to live in the White House.
