By: Ben Wilver

The State of Pennsylvania is home to over 12 million people, and has been a fond place of residence for Americans since well before the founding of our nation. There are plenty of reasons why these folks call PA "home." Once you have lived here for a while, you'll understand; but if you haven't, here is a list of some of the top reasons why Pennsylvania is a great place to live:

1. A deeply-rooted local history. Pennsylvania boasts some of America's oldest and most important landmarks. From the birthplace of our nation's independence (Philadelphia) to the cradle of American industry (Scranton, Pittsburgh), PA carries a rich heritage that shows through with its old brick architecture and timeless atmosphere.

2. Urban excitement. Pennsylvania is full of numerous lively cities, each with a thriving culture of its own. Philly, with its Eagles and famous cheesesteaks. Pittsburgh, with its Steelers and shining rivers. Harrisburg, Lancaster, Reading, Scranton, York and others dot the state with their own unique personality, as well.

3. Natural beauty. If you've been on the road for a while, its easy to tell when you've entered Pennsylvania. The hills begin to rise and dip, and the trees draw together densely, forming a landscape of pluming growth. (Interestingly, "Pennsylvania" literally means "Penn's Woods.") Pennsylvania is the perfect place for a camping trip, a country drive, or even a country life!

4. Job opportunities. There are always employers in Pennsylvania looking for skilled individuals to join their team. Whether you are interested in business, education, health care, or trade work, Pennsylvania has a great position waiting for you!

5. An ideal location. Pennsylvania is placed on a prime piece of real estate. Depending on where you live in the state, you can be less than 4 hours from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., and Jersey beach all at one time!

Without a doubt, Pennsylvania is a very well-rounded place to lay your roots. But don't just take the list's word for it: Come on by and see the Keystone State for yourself!
