Allentown - Pennsylvania - 1901 - Bird's Eye View Map

LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. 

The dawn of the twentieth century finds Allentown, Pennsylvania a bustling and industrious community.  This Bird's Eye View map well illustrates the growth of the town since the earlier 1879 map on file with the Library of Congress.  Inset around the edges of the map are detailed illustrations of local businesses.  Businesses and public places referenced on the map and a list of inset illustrations is featured below the picture on the right.

Allentown was sometimes known as Northampton or "Northampton Town" until officially being named Allentown in 1838.  The place had also been known as "Allen's Town", after William Allen, the largest landowner in the region, having purchased the tract of land that Allentown is now situated on in September, 1735.  William Allen was to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the province in 1750.

This example of a Bird's Eye View Map was published by Landis & Alsop of Newark, NJ in 1900.
