New Boston, PA

New Boston is a quiet, close-knit village of around 200 people tucked into the hills of northern Schuylkill County. Founded in the 1860s as an anthracite mining patch town, the neighborhood still keeps its historic character with compact streets and classic coal-region homes. It offers a calm, affordable place to settle down away from busy traffic, surrounded by Pennsylvania woodland. While it remains strictly residential today, everyday necessities, local dining, and highway access are just a quick drive away in nearby Frackville and Mahanoy City.
