Trevorton, PA

Trevorton is a Northumberland County census-designated place in Zerbe Township, at the meeting of Routes 225 and 890 in the Line Mountain area. The settlement sits in anthracite country, and a local county history places the first mine in the area in 1827, before Trevorton was laid out in 1850. The coal seams shaped the community’s early reason for being, while the roads still mark its place in the valley. Trevorton is a Pennsylvania mining town with a short, direct story: coal first, town second.
