Historical Description | Originally, Pennsylvania was the settlement area of the Susquehannock, who were wiped out by Iroquois and European colonists. In 1643, the first settlers settled coming from Sweden. Later it came under the control of England. From 1671, William Penn traveled to many European countries promoting Quaker colonies in the New World. The Mason-Dixon line was surveyed between 1763 and 1767 to establish the Pennsylvania-Maryland boundary that remains in effect today. It forms the historic boundary between the northern and southern states of the United States. |
