Economy

What form of ==Map of territorial claims== The following off-site maps show the various claims of the original Thirteen Colonies: [1], [2], [3], and [4]. If this information could be included in a map of this province's claims, it would be great. (This request was originally made by jengod, and I moved it here.) – Quadell ^{(talk) (bounties)} 16:06, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pennsylvania, as those maps show, had no western claims. --M @r ē ino 15:06, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Map request filled. Kmusser 20:03, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pennamite-Yankee War

Shouldn't Pennamite-Yankee War be included in here somewhere? Mapsax (talk) 22:02, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, go ahead and add a couple sentences. --M@rēino 21:45, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure of the context. Someone with more knowledge should do it. Mapsax (talk) 20:23, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I love pie and this website can be edited by other people, as a heads up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.120.175.206 (talk) 22:24, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Never a province

The word "province" was never part of the official name of any of the thirteen British colonies that later formed the United States, yet nine of the titles of the thirteen articles on those colonies include "province". All nine articles should be moved and retitled. WCCasey (talk) 19:38, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Errm, this charter for the province looks official. older ≠ wiser 01:57, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Montgomery County didn't yet exist

Montgomery County didn't exist under provincial times in Pennsylvania. That county was created out of Philadelphia and Bucks Counties in 1784. Bill S. (talk) 04:42, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Colonial capital

As per the History section of the Harrisburg article, that city did not even exist during the colonial era. What we now know as Independence Hall in Philadelphia was the Pennsylvania State House at the time of the American Revolution. 98.18.227.164 (talk) 17:47, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
