Allentown Workers Compensation/Personal Injury, Lehigh County

Allentown is the name of a song written and performed by Billy Joel that accurately pays tribute to the region’s working class roots.

Known as the Queen City, Allentown is located 62 miles north of Philadelphia; Allentown is a city that is a part of the Lehigh Valley in Eastern Pennsylvania. It is on the western end of a metropolitan area that also consists of the cities of Bethlehem, Easton and Phillipsburg, N.J. It is the seat of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, and has a population of 118,032. The county has a population of 349,497 people.

Allentown is the fastest growing city in Pennsylvania and is the third largest city in Pennsylvania, behind Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Historically known as a steel mill town, the current economy in Allentown is now one of service industries with some manufacturing. The city serves as the corporate headquarters for several large, global companies, including Pennsylvania Power and Light Company, Air Products & Chemicals, and others. The largest employer in Allentown is the Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network, with more than 7,800 employees.

It is also home to minor league baseball and soccer teams. Construction is underway to build an 8,500 seat arena in the downtown area that will house a minor league hockey team in 2014.
