Philadelphia is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the second largest city on the East Coast of the United States, and the fifth most populous city in the United States. It is located in the North eastern United States along the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, and it is the only consolidated city in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia is the economic and cultural centre of the Delaware Valley, home to over 6 million people and the country's sixth-largest metropolitan area.
