• In Philadelphia in 1775 Johann Behrent built the first piano in America calling it under the name "Piano Forte."



• Betsy Ross made the first American flag in Philadelphia.



• Philadelphia is home to the cheesesteak sandwich, water ice, soft pretzels, and TastyKakes.



• Philadelphia is home to the Liberty Bell.



• Fairmount Park in Philadelphia is the largest city park with over 8,000 acres.



• Philadelphia was once the United States capital city.
