Nazareth, Borough in Northampton County, US
Nazareth is a borough in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley region, featuring residential neighborhoods connected by tree-lined streets in a compact area. The settlement sits at around 150 meters elevation and maintains a small-town character throughout.
German Moravian immigrants founded Nazareth in 1740, building log structures as their first dwellings in the area. The settlement then developed as a closed religious community with deep communal ties.
The Martin Guitar factory has shaped the town's identity as a place where skilled craftspeople continue a tradition of instrument-making that draws visitors interested in music and manufacturing.
The area is served by local schools including Nazareth Area High School, which anchors the community's educational services. Visitors can explore the compact borough on foot, making navigation straightforward.
Residents maintain a tradition of selling single red roses on June 11 and 12 each year, rooted in a colonial-era land agreement. This uncommon yearly custom gives the community a distinctive character that surprises many visitors.
