About location

Old Boston lies in the Lackawanna River valley, a settled transport corridor edged by wooded ridges in northeastern Pennsylvania. The community is part of Luzerne County’s Greater Pittston area, where Pennsylvania Route 315 provides a broad, divided road corridor between employment sites, residential districts and regional connections. Low commercial buildings and utility infrastructure share the valley floor with substantial tree cover, giving the area a suburban-industrial character rather than a compact downtown. This is part of Pennsylvania’s historic anthracite coal region, whose mines and rail-era development shaped settlements across the surrounding valleys. Today, Old Boston is defined by road access and the working landscape of the Wyoming Valley.

Region Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania stretches from the shore of Lake Erie to the Delaware River, encompassing Appalachian ridges, plateaus and broad river valleys. Near the state’s geographic centre, the West Branch Susquehanna and its tributaries run through forested country, while the main Susquehanna continues south towards Chesapeake Bay. Philadelphia gives Pennsylvania an enduring place in the story of the United States: Independence Hall was the setting for the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the signing of the Constitution. Former industrial cities, Amish and Mennonite communities, farms and state forests reveal markedly different sides of the Commonwealth.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
