West Hazleton

Tucked into the Appalachian Plateau in northeastern Pennsylvania, West Hazleton is a place whose character is shaped by the anthracite coal fields that transformed the Hazleton area. The borough forms part of the Greater Hazleton community, where residential streets and local businesses stand near routes linking Luzerne County with the Lehigh Valley and the Pocono region. Coal mining drove settlement and industry across this part of Pennsylvania from the nineteenth century, a legacy interpreted nearby at Eckley Miners’ Village, a preserved company town. West Hazleton is less a separate tourist centre than a practical base for understanding the region’s working landscape and changing communities.
