Which City Is Known as the "City of Brotherly Love": Chicago or Philadelphia?

Philadelphia: The City of Brotherly Love

The nickname "City of Brotherly Love" belongs to Philadelphia. The name originates from the city's founder, William Penn, a Quaker known for his peaceful principles and commitment to social equality.

Historical Background

Penn founded Philadelphia in 1682 as a haven where people of all religions could coexist peacefully. He named the city after the ancient Greek city of Philadelphia, which translates to "brotherly love" (from Greek phileo "to love" and adelphos "brother").

Chicago, while a major American city with its own rich history and nicknames (like "Windy City"), is not associated with this particular moniker.
