The 1st liberty bell was first rung in March of 1753 but cracked under test. Two more bells were made after that; the second being rejected because of the tone. The third bell was hung in the steeple of the State Hiouse in June of 1753 and first rung in August of that year.
Not that simple. The 'Independence' or 'Old Yankee's' Bell was first rung in 1753 and most famously rung on 8 July 1776 to call the people of Philadelphia to their first reading of the Declaration of Independence. The Independence Bell was not renamed the 'Liberty Bell' until 1837 when it became the icon of the American Anti-Slavery Society. iT FARTED ALOTTTTTTTT AND IT MADE A DUMP.
The Liberty Bell was hung in the tower of what is now Independence Hall in Philadelphia in 1753. It had been ordered by the Pennsylvania Assembly two years earlier in 1751 to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of William Penn's 1701 Charter of Privileges, Pennsylvania's original Constitution. Penn's Charter was extraordinary for its time in providing for religious freedom, inclusion of citizens in enacting laws, and other provisions and fittingly, the Assembly had ordered engraved on the Bell "Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof," from Leviticus 25:10.
The bell cracked immediately after it was hung up and rung to try the sound. It was taken down and an attempt made to repair it, but the repaired bell had an unpleasant sound. A new bell was ordered to replace it but was hung on the State House roof instead. The new bell was rung to announce the time, while the bell in Independence Hall was rung only for special events.
