A Brief History of Allentown,
Pennsylvania
Allentown was founded in 1762 by William Allen, who
originally called it Northamptontown. In 1838, the town
was named after him.
Allentown holds historical significance as the location
where the Liberty Bell was hidden by the Continental
Congress during a portion of the American Revolutionary
War. As the British were attempting to seize Philadelphia
in 1777, the Liberty Bell was moved north and hidden
successfully by the colonies in the basement of a center
city Allentown church.
Today, at Allentown's Old Zion Reformed Church, a shrine
in the church?s basement marks the exact spot where the
Liberty Bell was hidden. It features a full-size official
replica of the Liberty Bell flanked by the flags of the
original thirteen colonies and is the only replica of its
type.
