“Bumped into a traveler a little while ago who showed me what he said was a fragment of the actual Liberty Bell! Poppycock! The Liberty Bell is still intact and laying in the ruins of Philly. I have funded an expedition to that dump in hopes of having the entire bell brought back to my museum.”— Liberty Bell Expedition, Abraham Washington

Philadelphia (colloquially referred to as Philly)[1] was a pre-War city in the United States.

Background

The city was affected by nuclear weapons during the Great War,[2] but one piece of American history allegedly still stands there, the original Liberty Bell. Philadelphia is mentioned in Abraham Washington's terminal. It states that he ran into a traveler who tried to sell him a piece of the Liberty Bell, but Abraham did not believe him, saying that Liberty Bell was still in Philadelphia's ruins. Abraham goes on to say that he has funded an expedition to Philadelphia to retrieve the entire Liberty Bell, but calls the city a "dump."[3]

Yasmin Chowdhury, a traveling chef, hailed from the city, living there her entire life before leaving for culinary school.[1]

Appearances

Philadelphia is mentioned in Fallout 3, Fallout 4, and the Fallout 76 update Steel Dawn.
