History

Thomas Penn was so inspired by the beauty of the place that he set aside a 1000 acre (4 km²) tract of land here for a town. The population was 26,263 as of the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Northampton County, Pennsylvania County.

Easton is situated at the confluence of the Delaware and Lehigh River rivers, a popular area long before it was settled by Europeans. The Lenape Native Americans originally referred this place as "Lechauwitank", or "The Place at the Forks". As Northampton County, Pennsylvania was being formed at this time, Easton was selected as its county seat.
