Description

The wild land of Susquehanna County; traversed but not inhabited by the Lenape tribe; was first settled after the Revolutionary War; mostly by veterans in search of affordable land and willing to pioneer. Their families built homes; churches; and businesses and formed thriving agricultural communities; taking advantage of natural resources like timber and bluestone. Rolling hills; clear lakes; and mountain streams form a scenic and peaceful backdrop; attractive to visitors. From the mountaintops; small communities can be seen in the valleys; their white church spires rising above the trees. Influenced by emigrants from New England; the larger towns replicate the neat white houses and shady tree-lined streets of the Northeast.
