First Tax List for Philadelphia County, 1693

In 1693, Pennsylvania, under Governor Benjamin Fletcher, implemented its first general tax law amid political shifts, including the removal of William Penn. The law mandated a tax of one penny per pound on real and personal estates, along with six shillings per head on freemen not otherwise taxed, lasting just one year. This tax aimed to fund government operations and defense against threats. Despite the ambitious tax plan, assessment errors led to disappointing revenue outcomes. The tax list showcased property valuations across three counties, revealing both the fledgling colony’s economic landscape and administrative challenges.
