Overview
Scranton is the sixth-largest city in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. It is the county seat and largest city of Lackawanna County in
Northeastern Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley and hosts a federal court building
for the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
With a population of 77,291, it is the largest city in the
Scranton–Wilkes-Barre–Hazleton, PA Metropolitan Statistical Area, which has a
population of about 570,000.
Economy
Scranton is the geographic and cultural center of the Lackawanna
River valley and Northeastern Pennsylvania, and the largest of the former
anthracite coal mining communities. The city's industrial production and
population peaked in the 1930s and 40s, fueled by demand for coal and textiles,
especially during World War II. But while the national economy boomed after the
war, demand for the region's coal declined as other forms of energy became more
popular, which also harmed the rail industry. The city's economy and population
stabilized in the 1980s and 1990s. The city now has large health care and
manufacturing sectors.
