Philadelphia Auto Shipping

Philadelphia is the sixth largest city in the United States as well as the largest city in the entire state of Pennsylvania; according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city has a total population of 1.4 million residents. It is also at the heart of the greater Philadelphia Metropolitan Area, which houses over 5.8 million residents. Philadelphia also sits as the county seat of Philadelphia County, but despite its size and historical importance it is not the capital of the state of Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia once held the distinction of being the second-largest city in the British Empire while it was still a part of it, and at the time of the American Revolution the city was the cultural center in the American colonies. During the American Revolution Philadelphia served as the main seat of government and, following the signing and ratification of the Constitution, was the capital of the United States until Washington D.C. was completed in 1800.

During the first part of the 19th century the city flourished as the cultural center of the Pennsylvania area, though after a few years the city became stagnant in terms of new developments, and people began moving away. This trend remained until the first part of the 20th century, when urban renewal took over in the city; Philadelphia, like any other city, has seen its fair share of ups and downs over the years, though today it is a sprawling metropolis with a major emphasis on inner-city living space.

During the summer months the average daily highs in the city reach about 85 degrees or so during the day, while overnight lows typically drop to around 64 degrees or so. During the winter months, however, the average daily highs in the city reach around 40 degrees while lows drop to below freezing overnight. Snow and rain are especially common in the winter.
