The naming of these towns was
based on strong religious tradi
tion. On Christmas eve in 1741, a
small band of Moravian settlers
gathered in a crude log cabin on
a bhnk of Monocacy Creek, near
where that stream joins the Le
high River in Pennsylvania. The
singing of the old Moravian hymn,
“Not Jerusalem, Lowly Bethle

patron leader, Court Nicholas
Zezendorf, that they decided to
name their new world home Beth
lehem.
Settlers who migrated farther
west from Bethlehem, Pa., founded
Bethlehem, Indiana, in 1812 and
named the place after their Penn
sylvania home town.
Bethlehem Ky., was originally
named Mobley Stand. When the
first post office was established in
December, 1862, the postmaster,
one Jamison Hall, inspired by the
nearness of Christmas changed the
name to Bethlehem.

that nobody knows exactly how
that town was named. It could

and gentle place.
