Ten miles southwest of Allentown in Lehigh County lies Macungie Borough.
The name “Macungie” is derived from “maguntsche,” a place name used as early as 1730 to describe the region that is present day Macungie and Emmaus areas. Maguntsche is a Lenape word, which translates to “bear
swamp” or “feeding of the bears.”
