Northeastern Pennsylvania

Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA) is a geographic region of Pennsylvania that includes the Pocono Mountains, the Endless Mountains and the industrial cities of Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Pittston, Hazleton and Carbondale.

Unlike some other parts of the Rust Belt, some of these communities are experiencing a modest population increase mainly due to the influx of people from the New York and New Jersey metropolitan areas. In fact, some parts of the region, specifically Monroe and Pike counties, rank among the fastest growing areas of the state.

Famous quotes containing the word pennsylvania:

    The Republican Party does not perceive how many his failure will make to vote more correctly than they would have them. They have counted the votes of Pennsylvania & Co., but they have not correctly counted Captain Brown’s vote. He has taken the wind out of their sails,—the little wind they had,—and they may as well lie to and repair.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
