About location

Allentown combines a working industrial heritage with the pace of a growing regional centre in a way that reflects its position in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley. The city lies on the Lehigh River, between the Appalachian highlands and the wider urban corridor of eastern Pennsylvania. Founded in 1762 by William Allen, it developed as a manufacturing and transport centre, and its industrial past remains central to the city’s identity. Allentown is the largest city in the Lehigh Valley, with major roads and commercial districts connecting it to Bethlehem, Easton and the wider Philadelphia–New York corridor. Downtown’s PPL Center, an arena opened in 2014, anchors a renewed central district, while residential neighbourhoods spread across the river valley.

City Allentown

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.

Pennsylvania
Region Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania stretches from the shore of Lake Erie to the Delaware River, encompassing Appalachian ridges, plateaus and broad river valleys. Near the state’s geographic centre, the West Branch Susquehanna and its tributaries run through forested country, while the main Susquehanna continues south towards Chesapeake Bay. Philadelphia gives Pennsylvania an enduring place in the story of the United States: Independence Hall was the setting for the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the signing of the Constitution. Former industrial cities, Amish and Mennonite communities, farms and state forests reveal markedly different sides of the Commonwealth.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
