Located on the Lehigh River, Allentown is the largest city in the Lehigh Valley metropolitan region, which also includes the cities of Bethlehem and Easton. The city lies approximately 60 miles north of Philadelphia and about 90 miles west of New York City.
Allentown was founded in 1762 by William Allen, a wealthy Philadelphia merchant and former mayor of Philadelphia. It was originally named Northampton Town. The city was incorporated as a borough in 1811 and officially renamed Allentown in 1838. It received its city charter in 1867.
During the American Revolution, the Liberty Bell was hidden in the Zion Reformed Church in Allentown to prevent its capture by British forces.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Allentown developed as an industrial center, with manufacturing in iron, steel, textiles, and later electronics and trucks. The economy has since diversified toward healthcare, services, and transportation. Lehigh Valley International Airport serves the surrounding region.
