History
Pennsylvania Route 106 was originally an alignment of Pennsylvania Route 47 designated in 1927. This alignment stretched from U.S. Route 11 in Kingsley to the intersection with U.S. Route 6 in Carbondale. However, this designation was short-lived, and in 1928, the alignment was taken over as the centerpiece to U.S. Route 106, a U.S. Highway which began in the community of Wyalusing, Pennsylvania at U.S. Route 309. The piece that is now PA 106 began in the community of Kingsley and went to the city of Carbondale. The route remained intact for almost 45 years, and in 1972, the U.S. Route 106 designation was decommissioned and replaced by all new designations of Pennsylvania Route 706, PA 106, and Pennsylvania Route 652.
