Industrial history in the heart of the Lehigh Valley
Stockertown began as “Stockersville” when it was founded as a fertile farm community in 1845. Over the next few decades, the area grew as surrounding Northampton County transformed into the “Slate Belt” and became the largest producer of slate in the country. Today, Stockertown remains small, with less than 1,000 residents. The local economy is still held up by industry, including the production of cement, polymer and industrial gas. The residents who have continued to make their home in this small town have plenty to enjoy, from a variety of home styles and top-notch schools to local parks and trails and easy access to nearby shopping. “It’s easy for Stockertown to get lost because much larger towns surround it, but it really is such a great place with a lot to offer,” says Margaret Kelce, a volunteer at the Memorial Library of Nazareth who has lived in the Lehigh Valley for over a decade.
Farm homes, Colonials and bungalows side by side
Stockertown neighborhoods can be eclectic, with multiple architectural styles in one area. Local streets might feature Cape Cod-style homes, Colonial Revival properties and bungalows built alongside each other. Rural areas of the borough often have big, open yards with large maple and oak trees serving as natural barriers between houses. In more populated neighborhoods, there are smaller yards and neat sidewalks. Street parking is also common since many homes do not have driveways. Stockertown properties typically cost between $200,000 to $300,000 regardless of location and style.

Hiking paths along the historic “Slate Belt”
The borough has two small parks that are across the street from each other. Sherman Metzgar Park on Lincoln Avenue has fields for baseball, soccer and volleyball, as well as a playground and a basketball court. Newhart Par on Main Street is popular for community gatherings since it has a shelter pavilion, picnic tables and charcoal grills. Visitors can also use the playground or volleyball and badminton courts. Just north of Stockertown is one end of the Plainfield Township Trail, which stretches for nearly 7 miles up to the foot of Blue Mountain in the borough of Pen Argyl. This trail takes hikers along Little Bushkill Creek and through the remains of the region’s “Slate Belt.” “You can actually see piles of slate along the trail from over 100 years ago. It’s such a unique thing,” Kelce says.
Gatherings at Goat Pub or Widow's Tavern
Stockertown may be small, but it is not lacking in dining options. The Goat Pub & Pie on Main Street is best known for its “Detroit-Style Pizza” – a regional dish that is recognizable for its square shape. Widow’s Tavern and Grill has a rotating seasonal menu and offers weekly special meals, like a weekday three-course dinner and slow-roasted prime rib every Friday and Saturday.
For weekly groceries and everyday needs, Park Plaza at 1800 Sullivan Trail in neighboring Forks Township has a Giant, as well as home improvement stores, a bank and a gym. For another grocery option, there is a Weis Market on Sullivan Trail in Easton, just a mile from the center of Stockertown.

It is only 7 miles from the college town of Easton, 20 miles from Allentown and about 8 miles from the New Jersey border. Stockertown is also served by Lehigh and Northampton Transportation Authority (LANta), which has multiple bus stops along Main Street.
