History

Philadelphia has a long, rich past. The Delaware Indians first populated the area, but by the early 1600's, the Dutch settled this land. By the 1630's fur and tobacco trade became the main industry of this area. George Lamberton brought the first English colonists in 1642, but due to little support and illness, the settlement dissolved. There seems to have been little British influence in the areas until 1664 when the English won the conquest of New Netherland.

In 1681, William Penn bought land from the Delaware Indians after being granted a charter. It was to be a utopian land of religious freedom and filled with agriculture. To represent his dream, Penn chose the name Philadelphia because the root words mean ÔLove' and Ôbrother'. By 1701, when William Penn left, there were over 2,500 residents. When Benjamin Franklin arrived in 1723, there were colleges and libraries. Through the decades and various problems of the day, Philadelphia has bloomed as factories and mines sprouted. According to the 2010 Census, there are over 1.5 million people within the city with over 430,000 students, thus there would be many tutoring and teaching jobs. In fact, there are 3,495 jobs on Simply Jobs right now.
