Philadelphia
From Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium
Philadelphia is the sixth most populous city in the United States. Often referred to as Philly or The City of Brotherly Love from the Greek words philos (love) and adelphos (brother). Before the European settlers, an Indian tribe, the Lenape, had a village called Shackamaxon.
