European immigrants later settled in the area and, in 1742, Saucon Township was formed. It then split into Upper and Lower Saucon, which are parts of Lehigh and Northampton Counties, respectively. Today, Lower Saucon Township covers about 23 square miles and has over 9,800 residents. The adjacent Hellertown has 5,600 residents and is located, along with Lower Saucon, in the prestigious Saucon Valley. The Lower Saucon area is the perfect place to live with its beautiful varied landscape with woods and rolling hills, yet it is centrally located near many conveniences. The picturesque historical city of Bethlehem, with many unique shops and restaurants, is a short drive from the community. Bethlehem is also home to Musikfest, the largest music festival in the country. The Lehigh Valley is just several minutes away and, like Saucon Valley, there are many shopping centers, parks, restaurants, and golf courses in the area. The nearby highways provide an easy commute to Philadelphia and New York. 1 SCHOOLS PUBLIC PRIVATE PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS SCHOOLS SCHOOLS ELEMENTARY ELEMENTARY ELEMENTARY Grades ( K-5 ) Grades ( Pre-5 ) Grades ( K-8 ) Saucon Valley Elementary Moravian Academy Saint Theresa School School 422 Heckewelder Pl. 300 Leonard St. 2085 Polk Valley Rd.
