Chinchilla

Chinchilla straddles the Lackawanna River in northeastern Pennsylvania’s Lackawanna Valley, a position that links this small community to the transport corridors and coal-era towns around Scranton. Part of South Abington Township in Lackawanna County, it lies north of Scranton amid the valley’s wooded hills and suburban development. The wider area was one of the United States’ major anthracite-coal districts; that industrial past is interpreted at Scranton’s Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour and Steamtown National Historic Site. Chinchilla is chiefly a residential community, but its setting makes it part of the region’s continuing connection between the Scranton area and the upper valley.
