Philadelphia is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the second largest city on the East Coast of the United States. During the 19th century, Philadelphia became a major industrial center and railroad hub that grew from an influx of European immigrants. It became a prime destination for African Americans during the Great Migration and surpassed two million occupants by 1950.
