Founded in 1848, Muhlenberg College sits on 81 picturesque acres in the west end of Allentown, 55 miles north of Philadelphia and 90 miles west of New York City. The college adopted the name Muhlenberg College in 1867, 19 years after it was founded — in honor of Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, patriarch of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
