About location

Wilkes-Barre Township is best known within northeastern Pennsylvania for its position on Interstate 81 in the Wyoming Valley. Exit 168 places the township on a principal north–south route through the Susquehanna River valley, between the built-up Wilkes-Barre area and the wooded slopes that edge the basin. Interstate 81 is part of the long highway spine linking Pennsylvania with upstate New York and the Mid-Atlantic. The wider Wyoming Valley was one of the United States’ major anthracite-coal districts; that industry shaped the settlement pattern, rail connections and working identity of communities along the river. Today, the township combines highway-oriented businesses, residential neighborhoods and regional services in Luzerne County.

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.
