About Mount Pocono

Mount Pocono is a compact mountain borough of about 3,000 residents in northern Monroe County. Originally settled as a quiet railroad and resort hub, the town has evolved into the main commercial center for the surrounding Pocono communities. Residents enjoy a scenic, wooded setting while staying close to grocery stores, pharmacies, local diners, and national retailers. The central crossroads keeps everyday errands simple and makes it easy to handle household tasks without driving far down the mountain.
