Philadelphia
New York City was the first capital of the United States of America under the Constitution adopted in 1787. The first capitol of the United States, however, was Philadelphia, where the Continental Congress sat when independence was declared in 1776.
In 1776, the population of Philadelphia was approximately 40,000 to 50,000 residents. At that time, it was one of the largest cities in the American colonies and served as a significant political and cultural center. The city played a crucial role during the American Revolution, hosting the Continental Congress and the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Chicago received the nickname "Second City" in the late nineteenth century after being rebuilt from the great Chicago fire of 1873.
Before 1790, the capital of the United States was Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The city served as the temporary capital while the permanent capital was being established in Washington, D.C. Philadelphia hosted the Continental Congress and was a central location for early American governance. The federal government operated there until the capital moved to Washington in 1800.
