Immerse yourself in the Nazareth community spirit

Historic Quaint Charming

Founded in 1740 by Moravian settlers, the Borough of Nazareth in central Northampton County was named for the Biblical town of Nazareth. The Borough of Nazareth has historically been industrial, producing textiles, yarn, cement, and fabricated steel. However, Nazareth’s best known and most popular product is the Martin Guitar.

A distinct community spirit permeates Nazareth and defines traditional events like the Annual Martin on Main Street Festival, the Block Party, Nazareth Day, parades, and holiday tours. Nazareth residents enjoy lush parks, an award-winning school system, a lively downtown area, and convenience to both Philadelphia and New York City. Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom Amusement Park is just 20 minutes from Nazareth as well. Traveling and commuting from Nazareth is easy with access to Routes 191 and 33 and Lehigh Valley International Airport.
