Home to around 4,000 residents, the community offers a laid-back, small-town setting rooted in the region's historic coal-country heritage. Its convenient spot along Interstate 81 and Route 347 makes daily travel simple, putting downtown Scranton, regional employers, and everyday essentials within a short drive.
