Harrisburg is the capital of Pennsylvania, one of four states designated a Commonwealth of the United States. As of the 2000 census, the city has a total population of 48,950 (metropolitan area 643,820), making it the fourth largest metropolitan area in Pennsylvania. Harrisburg is the county seat of Dauphin CountyGR6 and lies on the banks of the Susquehanna River, 105 miles (169 km) west by north of Philadelphia.

Harrisburg is one of the oldest and most historically significant state capital cities in the United States. It has played a critical role in American history during the Westward Migration, the American Civil War, and the Industrial Revolution. During part of the 19th century, the building of the Pennsylvania Canal and later the Pennsylvania Railroad, allowed Harrisburg to became one of the most industrialized cities in the northeastern United States.

Contrasting its 1981 status as the second most distressed city in the nation, Harrisburg has undergone a dramatic economic resurgence since, with nearly $3 billion in new investment now realized. The US Navy ship USS Harrisburg, which served from 1918-19 at the end of World War I, is named in honor of the city. Harrisburg is also known for the infamous Three Mile Island incident, which occurred in nearby Middletown.
