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.
