Easton has served as the seat of Northampton County in eastern Pennsylvania since 1752. The city occupies the meeting point of the Delaware and Lehigh rivers, where Pennsylvania faces both New Jersey and the route toward the Lehigh Valley. Centre Square, laid out in the original town plan, was the setting for a public reading of the Declaration of Independence in July 1776. Easton is also closely associated with Crayola: the company’s Crayola Experience is based downtown, reflecting a local manufacturing story that began with the first crayons in 1903.
