About Egypt, Pennsylvania

Egypt is a community of 2,588 people in Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, about 7 miles north of Allentown along Coplay Creek. No settlement in Pennsylvania north of South Mountain came earlier, and its Reformed congregation was organized in 1734. Pennsylvania German farmers on the thin soil to the west called their own district Allemangel, meaning "all is wanting," and when their corn ran short they traveled to Egypt's richer fields to buy grain. An 1884 county history compared them to the sons of Jacob in the Bible, with the Lehigh River playing the part of the Nile.

In 1755 Jacob Kohler built a gristmill on Coplay Creek just south of the church. Cement later remade the village. The American Improved Cements Company modernized the old Egypt Mills plant, sent its first cement to market over the Ironton Railroad in 1884, and in 1896 strung power lines that gave Egypt electricity from its own plants. Giant Portland Cement bought the company in 1913 and ran seven mills here, able to turn out 2.1 million barrels a year, until production stopped around 1929. Some of that cement went into the New York City Subway.

“Coplay creek proved particularly attractive, and many dropped their burdens along its green banks. Some of them had settled as early as 1733, at a spot which they called by the old biblical name of Egypta, because of its fertility.”
History of Lehigh County, 1914
  • A stone house from 1756John Peter Troxell built the Troxell-Steckel House in 1756, and Peter Steckel bought it in 1768. Few buildings anywhere in Lehigh County are older. After a restoration in 1943, the Lehigh County Historical Society has kept it open as a museum and historic site.
  • Fort Deshler, 1760During the French and Indian War era, settlers put up Fort Deshler in 1760 to shelter families from attack. It sat near today's corner of PA Route 145 and Chestnut Street and lasted until about 1940. A state historical marker now shows where it stood.
  • Veterans in the churchyardThe Egypt church put up a log building in 1764, and its cemetery holds many of the area's first settlers, among them 25 veterans of the Revolution, 15 of the War of 1812 and nine of the Civil War. Across the street, a monument dedicated on June 10, 1923, honors the 76 Egypt men who served in World War I. Its centerpiece is E. M. Viquesney's copper Spirit of the American Doughboy.
  • The Phillies come callingOn June 2, 1947, the Philadelphia Phillies traveled to Egypt Park to play a local Twilight League team. They came to win over Curt Simmons, a 17-year-old Whitehall High School pitcher who lived on Main Street. Simmons held the big leaguers to a 4-4 tie before darkness ended the game, and he went on to pitch for the Phillies.
  • Neighbors in 1735Around 1735 a Native American family made its home at Egypt, near the house of Jacob Kohler. Children from the two families often played together.
