Scranton

Among the cities of northeastern Pennsylvania, Scranton stands out for its industrial legacy in the Lackawanna Valley. The Lackawanna River runs through the city, while anthracite seams in the surrounding valley shaped its growth as a coal and rail centre. Steamtown National Historic Site occupies the former Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad yard downtown, preserving locomotives and infrastructure from the steam-rail era. Scranton is also known as the Electric City, a name tied to the early adoption of electric street lighting and streetcars in the 1880s.
