Hi Jan, The FORKS OF DELAWARE now known as Easton, Northampton Co., PA. What is now known as "The City of Easton" was originally called "The Forks of the Delaware." By this name it was designed by the Indians themselves, long before the appearance of the white man at this beautiful & romantic spot, & though the white man gave it a new name, the Indian to the latest generation clung tenaciously to the title given by his father to the place where the Lehigh River empties its waters into the greater Delaware. Ref: Some Of The First Settlers of "THE FORKS OF THE DELAWARE" and their Descendants, by the Rev. Henry Martyn KIEFFER, D.D. pg. 1 Note: Northampton became a county in 1752 before that it was Bucks Co., PA. There is also an area called JOHNSONVILLE in Northampton Co., PA.
