Nazareth Today

Today, Nazareth is an inviting, progressive community that welcomes all. Many ethnic and religious groups have joined the community, bringing their customs and traditions, which have enriched the citizenry as a whole. Nazareth maintains its heritage, which is evidenced by inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and the recognition of its unique historical district.

Nazareth is the home of the Martin Guitar Company, Essroc Cement Company, Moravian Hall Square, the Nazareth YMCA, and the Andretti racing family.

Professional offices, retail shops, agriculture, and industries producing textiles, chemicals, plastics and cement demonstrate an active economic climate. Residents enjoy recreation in their community parks and nearby Jacobsburg State Park, as well as regional hunting, fishing, skiing, hiking, and international auto races at the Nazareth Speedway.

The Nazareth Area, which is located at the center of Northampton County, contains some of the most picturesque countryside in Pennsylvania. It is a blend of communities including the townships of Bushkill, Lower Nazareth, Upper Nazareth and the boroughs of Nazareth, Stockertown and Tatamy.

Situated at the foot of the Blue Mountain in the Lehigh Valley, Nazareth offers convenient access via major transportation arteries to Philadelphia (60 miles), New York City (90 miles), and the Pocono Mountains (25 miles).
