Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Highlights
Philadelphia, located in southeastern Pennsylvania on the southern fringe of the mid-Atlantic region, is the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the United States, and the country's fifth-largest city. Often referred to as "Philly," the city's metropolitan area encompasses twelve counties in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.
Philadelphia's economy is as diverse as the population that inhabits the city. The Philadelphia Stock Exchange, the oldest such exchange in America, has been in operation since 1790. The city is home to several major Fortune 500 companies, including Comcast (the nation's largest cable television provider), CIGNA insurance, and Lincoln Financial Group.
Dating back to Philadelphia's earliest days as the nation's first capital city, government presence is very strong in the city. The United States Mint is located near Philadelphia's historic district, and the Philadelphia division of the Federal Reserve Bank is not too far from the Mint. It is thanks to this Federal government presence that Philadelphia plays host to a large number of prestigious law firms and can call itself a national center of law.*
