Allentown: Lehigh Valley's Largest City
Allentown sits along the Lehigh River as the largest city in the Lehigh Valley, with roughly 120,000 residents and the third-largest population in Pennsylvania. The city was founded in 1762 by William Allen, a prominent Philadelphia merchant who served as chief justice of colonial Pennsylvania. During the Revolutionary War the Liberty Bell was hidden in Zion Reformed Church here to prevent British forces from melting it down for ammunition.
Mack Trucks assembled heavy-duty vehicles in Allentown for most of the 20th century, and the brand remains associated with the city even after assembly operations moved to North Carolina in 1987. The Mack Trucks Historical Museum on Mack Boulevard preserves the production archive. Billy Joel's 1982 song about the decline of industrial Allentown made the city a shorthand for deindustrialization across the Rust Belt.
The PPL Center downtown hosts the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, the AHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers. Coca-Cola Park nearby is home to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs, the AAA affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom, a regional amusement park, has operated on the western edge of the city since 1884.
