Stockertown is a borough in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. The borough's population was 927 as of the 2010 census. It is part of the Lehigh Valley metropolitan area, which had a population of 861,899 and was the 68th-most populous metropolitan area in the U.S. as of the 2010 census.
The borough contains large industries such as Hercules Cement, Polymer Products, and Praxair. The borough spans a 21⁄2-mile radius and provides services for a population of 927 residents. Stockertown is at the hub of five surrounding second-class townships, and until the Charles Chrin Interchange was built near Tatamy in 2015, provided the closest access to Pennsylvania Route 33 for many industrial parks in these townships.[3]
Since 2006, Forks Township has been contracted to provide fire services to the borough,[4] and the borough maintains its own police department. It is located in Pennsylvania's 17th Congressional District, and in Pennsylvania's 137th (State House of Representatives) and 18th (State Senate) Legislative Districts.[5]
