It is the seat of Northampton County, which contains part of Bethlehem and many nearby boroughs and townships. Its location at the confluence of two rivers and various creeks made it a prized position for commerce and early settlement. An early Native American camping site for council, war, and hunting and fishing parties, it later became a major hub of government, industry, and culture. Historic Easton traces the evolution of a small frontier village to a large industrial center, spanning the years from the earliest settlements to the 1940s.
