Which city hosted the First Continental Congress remembered during America250?

Philadelphia hosted the First Continental Congress remembered during America250.

Delegates from twelve of the Thirteen Colonies met at Carpenters’ Hall in Philadelphia from September 5 to October 26, 1774. Georgia did not send delegates. The meeting responded to the escalating dispute between the colonies and the British government after measures including the Coercive Acts.

The congress petitioned King George III, organized a colonial boycott of British goods, and agreed to reconvene if its grievances were not addressed. It did not declare independence; that step came later, through the Second Continental Congress.

Philadelphia was a major political and commercial center in British North America. It later hosted the Second Continental Congress and the Constitutional Convention, making it one of the most important cities in the founding era.
