Allentown, Pennsylvania, was originally named "Northampton" when it was founded in 1762. It was later renamed in honor of its founder, William Allen, a prominent local landowner and politician. The name change occurred in 1782, reflecting Allen's influence in the area. Today, Allentown is the largest city in the Lehigh Valley region.
