AMERICA STARTED IN PHILLY: Before there was a United States of America, there was a room in Philadelphia filled with men willing to risk everything on an idea the world had never seen before.

On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted right here in Philadelphia. The words that announced a new nation to the world came from this city, and the country we celebrate today was born here.

250 years later, the whole nation still celebrates what happened in Philly. The birthplace of American independence. The city where a nation began. Happy Fourth of July, Philadelphia.
