Four hundred years ago, Pennsylvania’s frontier was the boundary region between Europeans and Native Americans. Initially, the two groups were mainly separated but exploiting each other for mutual gain. This was followed by a brief period, when Native Americans and Europeans occupied the same region but there continued to be a significant cultural boundary between them.

However, as Europeans increased in numbers, the frontier moved west and so did the original residents of the land we call Pennsylvania.
