Exploring Bethlehem - - Fountain Hill

Less than a mile square, Fountain Hill's nearly 5,000 residents enjoy their status as an independent community. Although many consider it a part of Bethlehem, it is without question a separate borough and has been since 1893.
Let's quickly visit and explore our neighbor, and learn a bit about its interesting history.

Mark Thanks for the short glimpse into Fountain Hill. As a Hiller born and raised we are proud of our community. My mom was so proud when the post office acknowledge it as a separate post office and in her large/beautiful gladly addressed it as so. Mary Knipe-Sedor

We used to play in the Silk Mill as kids. They would let us watch them work for a while and chase us out. So the next day, we would just be back again. Grew up 2 blocks away on Broadway.
