In the 1600s, Pennsylvania did not have a formal leader as it was not yet a colony. The land was initially part of the territory claimed by the Dutch and then the English. It was in 1681 that King Charles II granted the land to William Penn, making him the leader and founder of Pennsylvania when it became a proprietary colony. Prior to that, the area was inhabited by Indigenous peoples and had no centralized European governance.
