Before the first European settlers arrived in the Saucon Valley; the local Native American tribe; the Lenape; named the 17-mile; eastern Pennsylvania creek Saucon; meaning "at the mouth of the creek." Saucon Valley refers to the area drained by the Saucon Creek; a tributary of the Lehigh River. The valley includes Hellertown and Lower Saucon Township in Northampton County. Lower Saucon Township was chartered in 1743; when it was still a part of Bucks County. The township also included South Bethlehem until 1865; and Hellertown until 1872. Before becoming a borough in 1872; Hellertown was the largest village in Lower Saucon Township for many years. Even though the two municipalities remain separate; it is today impossible to disunite the families; culture; and history that have been interwoven through the years.
