About Pennsylvania - PA
Pennsylvania is a state in the northeastern United States and is one of the 13 states. Pennsylvania is bordered by Lake Erie in the northwest, New York in the north and northeast, New Jersey in the east, Delaware in the southeast, Maryland in the south, West Virginia in the southwest, and Ohio in the west. On December 12, 1787, the Federal Constitution approved and Pennsylvania became the second state to join the Union. The state has been known for its religious freedom and political democracy since its inception, and has had a major impact in North America. Many important chapters in American history have been written in Pennsylvania. Because the state is located in the middle of 13 states (6 states in the north and 6 states in the south), coupled with the state's role as the backbone of the United States independence, it is known as the "Vaulted Stone State."
