The Lehigh River defines the setting of Allentown — its broad valley has shaped the city’s industrial past, neighbourhoods and connections across eastern Pennsylvania. As the largest city in the Lehigh Valley, Allentown grew with the region’s iron and manufacturing economy; working urban districts and redevelopment areas remain part of its fabric. The original Liberty Bell was concealed in Allentown’s Zion Reformed Church in 1777, an episode commemorated by the Liberty Bell Museum. The city is also home to the Allentown Art Museum and the PPL Center arena, while Lehigh Parkway follows Little Lehigh Creek through public parkland.
