Allentown was originally incorporated as Northamptontown; German settlers played a key role in its development. The city later adopted the name of its founder, Colonial Pennsylvania Supreme Court Chief Justice William Allen. Allentown contributed to several aspects of American history. After the Battle of Brandywine in 1777 George Washington had no hope of saving Philadelphia from the British. The Liberty Bell and the bells of Christ Church were secretly removed to be hidden in Zion’s Church. Today visitors can experience a bit of history in the Liberty Bell Shrine Museum located in Zion’s Church. Call 610-435-4232 or visit www.libertybellmuseum.org for more information.
