Bethlehem

The Lehigh River shapes the setting of Bethlehem — its broad valley has long influenced transport routes, industry and neighbourhoods along its banks. Founded in 1741 by Moravian settlers, Bethlehem retains a nationally significant historic district around Main Street, where early communal buildings recall that religious community. South Bethlehem is marked by the vast former Bethlehem Steel works; preserved blast furnaces now anchor the SteelStacks arts and events campus. The city is part of the Lehigh Valley, a Pennsylvania region of older industrial towns and university campuses.
