The King of England granted William Penn the land that is today Pennsylvania. Penn called this large new real estate project The Holy Experiment. He sold his land to Quakers of England and Wales and German Anabaptists of Germany and Switzerland. These Plain People formed the early community culture of Philadelphia and much of Eastern Pennsylvania.
