About Nicholson
Tucked into the rolling hills of Wyoming County, Nicholson is a quiet northeastern Pennsylvania borough with around 700 residents and a relaxed, rural pace. Tunkhannock Creek winds right through the valley, framing the town with wooded hills and classic small-town streets. While it feels peaceful and secluded, the borough sits within an easy drive of regional hubs like Clarks Summit and Scranton.
The town's most striking feature is hard to miss. The towering concrete arches of the historic Nicholson Bridge soar directly over the valley, carrying freight trains high above the rooftops. Day-to-day life moves at an easy rhythm, with quiet neighborhoods, scenic mountain backdrops, and a tight-knit community feel that appeals to anyone looking for space and simplicity.
