Westminster

Tucked into northeastern Pennsylvania’s Wyoming Valley, Westminster is a place whose character is shaped by the broad Susquehanna River corridor and surrounding Appalachian foothills. It lies in Luzerne County between Wilkes-Barre and the Scranton area, where closely spaced communities extend across the valley floor beneath wooded slopes. Anthracite coal mining left a lasting mark on this part of Pennsylvania, influencing its settlement pattern, rail links and industrial heritage. Westminster is a useful point from which to follow the connected towns of this former coal region, where urban streets and quieter residential areas meet the wider valley landscape.
