Philadelphia is the largest city in the state of Pennsylvania and is one of the oldest cities in the United States.  Founded in 1682 by Englishman William Penn, a social reformer and champion of liberty, he named the city Philadelphia using the Greek term meaning “brotherly love”.  Philadelphia has the nickname “City of Brotherly Love” and is nowadays more casually known by locals and non-locals alike as “Philly”.  The Philadelphia metropolitan area has over 6 million people and includes cities and towns in the states of New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland, in addition to Pennsylvania.  The area is well known as a center of higher education and has more than 80 postsecondary institutions including the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University, which both have Portuguese language programs.  Philadelphia was home to the first Brazilian consulate in the United States after the country gained independence from Portugal in 1822.  Today there are 45,000 Brazilians living in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, many living in the northeast part of the city where there are dozens of small businesses along Castor Avenue catering to this immigrant community.  Philadelphia is also home to Brazilian Day, a popular event held each September commemorating Brazilian Independence Day.
