Dupont

Among Pennsylvania’s communities, Dupont stands out for its setting in the anthracite coal country of Luzerne County. This small borough lies in the Susquehanna River valley, east of the river and within the Greater Pittston area between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. Its compact streets form part of a region shaped by coal mining, rail transport and closely linked industrial-era towns. Incorporated in 1917, Dupont takes its name from the DuPont powder company, reflecting the industries that influenced local development. Today, it is chiefly residential, with the broader Wyoming Valley defining its regional context.
