Pennsylvania signifies "Penn's woodlands" and was named for Admiral Sir William Penn, father of Quaker colonist and founder William Penn.  Apart from small low-lying areas in the northwest and southeast, Much of Pennsylvania's terrain is composed of mountain ridges and rolling hills, interspersed with narrow valleys.  Along Lake Erie in the northwest and along the Delaware River in the southeast, the terrain is lower and fairly level.  The Delaware River, Pennsylvania's eastern border, flows near Philadelphia, while the Susquehanna and Allegheny Rivers flow through central and western Pennsylvania, respectively.  Tourists come to see the state's many historic sites such as Gettysburg National Military Park and Valley Forge National Historic Park, as well as Independence National Park in Philadelphia.  Visit the official Pennsylvania tourism site and Pennsylvania Atlas for Pennsylvania travel and tourism information.
