Emmaus is a charming borough in Lehigh County. It is located just five miles south of Pennsylvania’s third-largest city, Allentown. In 2007 and 2009, Money Magazine ranked Emmaus among the top 100 "Best Places to Live" in the United States. The idyllic town is home to several historic sites, public parks, and a lively downtown area.
In 1741, the land on which Emmaus now lies was donated to the Moravian Church for the purpose of creating a faith-based village. Initially called Salzburg, the village was renamed Emmaus in 1761 by Moravian Bishop August Gottlieb Spangenberg. It remained a closed community of the Moravian Church for approximately 100 years, until the mid-19th century.
Today, Emmaus is a vibrant and active community. Shangy's, one of the nation's largest beer distributors with over 4,000 domestic and imported beer brands, attracts thousands of beer enthusiasts to Emmaus each year.
