Lehigh County, Administrative county in eastern Pennsylvania, United States
Located between Blue Mountain and South Mountain, Lehigh County encompasses 348 square miles of diverse landscapes with Allentown as its county seat.
The county, established in 1812 from the division of Northampton County, received its name from the Lehigh River that flows through the region.
The population of 374,557 residents includes substantial communities of German heritage, reflecting the area's early European settlement patterns.
