Did you know?
Philadelphia is a city of firsts. In addition to being the birthplace of the American flag, stitched by Betsy Ross in 1776, the city was the site of the first presidential mansion. It's also home to the first public zoological gardens, founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1874, and the first daily newspaper, which rolled off the presses for the first time in September 1784. Johann Behrent constructed the first American piano here in 1775, and Philadelphia was home to the first computer, which booted up in 1946.
