Before Philadelphia was Philadelphia it was "New Sweeden". Philadelphia's official city's colors are based on Sweden's colors. The Swedish National Museum is right down the street from where the Phillies Stadium is located.
Philadelphia has a neighborhood/section of the city named Queen Village after Queen Christina of Sweden. And Christian Street is also named for her.
Philly's oldest surviving building is from the New Sweden timeframe aka Swedes' Church building.

Didn't know about the museum. Really interesting!
