PREFACE

This report provides a compilation of statistics and graphics which summarize existing conditions and past and projected trends in the “Lehigh Valley” (Lehigh and Northampton counties). It is designed for use by planners, public offi cials, private organizations and individuals interested in growth and development in the Lehigh Valley. The topics of the data chapters are: Introduc-tion to the Lehigh Valley, Demographics, The Economy, Land Development, and Utilities and Transportation.

In April 2012, the LVPC updated the county population forecasts through 2040 based on 2010 Census population fi gures. Municipal population forecasts were updated in January 2013. Lehigh and Northampton County household forecasts through 2040 were also updated in 2012 based on 2010 Census household fi gures. Municipal household forecasts were updated in April 2013. Employment and Labor Force forecasts through 2040 were updated in November 2012 for both counties. Municipal employment forecasts were updated in March 2013.

The Lehigh Valley Planning Commission publishes numerous informational, analytical and policy-oriented planning reports which address subjects such as: demographics, land use planning, community facilities and utilities, transportation, recreation/natural features and the environment.

REGIONAL SETTING

The counties of Lehigh and Northampton, together comprised of 726 square miles, are located in the central eastern portion of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The region, referred to as the Lehigh Valley, is bounded on the north by the Blue Mountain, on the east by the Delaware River and on the south by the Lehigh Mountain Range, known as South Mountain. To the west, the plain breaks into low, rolling hills which rise to form a divide between lands drained by the Lehigh and Schuylkill rivers. The region is located within 300 miles of all the large, metropolitan areas of the Eastern United States (see map on front cover) and is particularly accessible to Philadelphia and New York City.

The two counties form the core of a metropolitan area defi ned by the Bureau of the Census as the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Metropolitan Statistical Area (ABE MSA). Carbon County is also part of the MSA. The Lehigh-Northampton county area contains 3 cities (Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton), 27 boroughs and 32 townships.

NATURAL FEATURES

Two major rivers fl ow through the region, the Lehigh and the Delaware. The Coplay, Jordan and Little Lehigh creeks in the west, the Saucon Creek in the south, and the Monocacy, Bushkill and Martins creeks in the north, all drain into the Lehigh or Delaware rivers.

The topography ranges from elevated regions along the northern edge of the area and along a line just south of the three cities to the relatively fl at, undulating terrain of the central portion of the Lehigh Valley. Elevations vary from 200 feet above mean sea level (MSL) along some parts of the Lehigh and Delaware rivers to greater than 1,695 feet MSL on the Blue Mountain and 1,042 feet MSL on South Mountain. Figure 1 shows the surface terrain of the region.

The area enjoys a moderate climate, with an annual average temperature of about 51 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures are rarely above 100 degrees or below 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Precipitation is generally ample and dependable; destructive storms seldom occur. The growing season is 170 to 185 days. More data on the climate of the Lehigh Valley can be found in Table 1.

Figure 2 shows the general location of slopes of 15% and over. The largest areas of steep slope are found on the Blue Mountain and South Mountain. Carbonate geology (limestone) underlies nearly all of the areas where urban development has taken place.

Figure 3 shows major wooded areas and major streams. The largest woodlands are found where steep slopes occur. Figure 4 shows the quality of the streams in the Lehigh Valley as classifi ed by the Penn-sylvania Department of Environmental Protection.

HISTORY

The fi rst European emigrants to colonize the region were Germans who settled in the southern part of the Lehigh Valley during the early 1700s. By 1748, the townships of Upper Milford, Upper Saucon, Lower Saucon, Upper Macungie, Williams, Mount Bethel (now divided into Upper and Lower), and Allen had been established. The Moravians arrived in 1740 and established Nazareth as an agricultural community and Bethlehem as a manufacturing center. In 1752, Northampton County was established by proprietors of William Penn’s land grant. At that time Northampton County included the area that is now Lehigh County. Easton was established as the county seat and as a commercial center. In 1762, William Allen founded what was to become Allentown. The period from 1763 to 1830 was one of agricultural activity, during which Allentown and Easton began to rival Bethlehem as trade centers. Agriculture was the nearly exclusive economic force because of isolation of the region from the rest of the country. In 1812, Lehigh County was created with the borders that exist today. By 1830, there were 18 townships and about 30 villages in the Lehigh Valley.

Transportation improved by 1829, with the construction of the Lehigh Canal and the building of sev-eral bridges across the Lehigh and Delaware rivers. The exploitation of the coal resources north of the region, enabled by the completion of the Lehigh Canal, and mining and quarrying of other mineral resources (zinc, slate and limestone) were growing industries of the mid-1800s. Processing of these raw materials, especially steel and cement making, also became major industrial activity. The opening of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company in 1855 stimulated industrial growth and urbanization. By 1890, the region was made up of 30 townships, 21 boroughs and two cities (Bethlehem was still a borough). Bethlehem was offi cially created in 1917.

After 1890, the national prominence of the region’s steel and cement industries drew a large labor force which made the area attractive to other industries such as production of silk, textiles and clothing. The slate and cement industries grew to high points and then declined due to technological changes, popula-tion shifts, and transportation advances. Modernization in transportation and public utilities boosted the new economic activities. The railroads expanded in the 1890 to 1930 period as the canals and canal boat service declined. By 1930, Bethlehem Steel was the second largest steel producer in the United States. First the electric trolley (1865-1930) and then private automobiles (post-1920) encouraged the development of commercial and residential areas outside the cities. Other factors spurring the post-World War II suburbanization of the region were highway improvements, large tracts of available and affordable land, and the demand for larger homes to accommodate “baby boom” generation families. Suburban shopping centers were fi rst built in the late 1950s. During the 1970s, industrial building expanded in the suburban areas. The stabilization or slow decline of population began in older parts of the region (the cities and boroughs). The 1980s were a period of expansion in suburban shopping centers and industrial parks and declines in manufacturing in the cities. The completion of Interstate 78 through the region in 1989 eased commutation and promoted economic development.

Table 2 contains the names of the historic features in Lehigh and Northampton counties that have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

GOVERNMENT

The Pennsylvania Constitution provides that the State Legislature classify local governments according to population size. Lehigh and Northampton counties are each Third Class Pennsylvania counties, as their population according to the 2000 U.S. Census was in the 250,000 to 500,000 range. Both coun-ties adopted Home Rule charters in 1978, which provide for nine-member elected legislative bodies and elected county executives.

The two counties contain 62 incorporated municipalities (see Figure 5). There are 25 in Lehigh County and 38 in Northampton County (the City of Bethlehem lies within both counties). There are a total of 3 cities, 27 boroughs and 32 townships. The 3 cities are classifi ed as third class cities as defi ned by the state of Pennsylvania based on their populations. Third class cities have populations below 250,000. The 32 townships are classifi ed as either fi rst class or second class townships. In the Lehigh Valley, there are only 5 townships classifi ed as fi rst class. They are Lower Macungie, Salisbury, South Whitehall, Whitehall and Bethlehem townships. In November 2007, Lower Macungie Township residents voted to change from a second class to fi rst class township. Other forms of local government in the Lehigh Valley are the 17 school districts and various county or other authorities with specifi c public purposes.
