Wikipedia: William Penn (October 14, 1644 – July 30, 1718) was a British real estate entrepreneur, philosopher, and founder and "absolute proprietor" of the Province of Pennsylvania, the British North American colony and the future U. S. State of Pennsylvania. He was an early champion of democracy and religious freedom, notable for his good relations and successful treaties with the Lenape Indians. Under his direction, the city of Philadelphia was planned and developed.
