Lehigh Valley Live Cam

The Lehigh Valley is a region in eastern Pennsylvania that is located in the eastern part of the United States. The region encompasses three counties: Northampton, Lehigh, and Carbon. The Lehigh Valley is situated roughly between the cities of Allentown and Easton and includes the surrounding towns and boroughs.

The area was originally settled by Native American tribes, including the Lenape, Shawnee, and Iroquois. European settlers arrived in the 1700s and established towns such as Bethlehem, Allentown, and Easton. These towns grew rapidly during the 19th century due to the area's abundant natural resources, including coal, iron ore, and limestone.

The Lehigh Valley played a significant role in the Industrial Revolution, with many factories and mills being built along the Lehigh and Delaware Rivers. The region was also home to the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, which was one of the largest steel producers in the world during the 20th century.
