Philadelphians

City of Brotherly-love natives

Philadelphians are residents or natives of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's largest city.

The term carries associations with the city's history as America's first capital and birthplace of the Constitution: Philadelphians take pride in their Revolutionary heritage.

The word also describes members of a 17th-century English mystical sect, though this usage is rare outside historical texts.
