Carbon County, located in the northeastern region of Pennsylvania, was established on March 13, 1843, and covers an area of 387 square miles. The county was named after the abundant presence of coal, specifically anthracite, a form of carbon. Carbon County possesses a rich history that dates back to the Native American Lenape tribe before the arrival of European settlers.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, the region was known for its thriving iron and coal industries. Its landscapes were dotted with iron furnaces, coal mines, railroads, and canals that served as vital transport links supporting the industries. The Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company founded by Josiah White and Erskine Hazard played a significant role in promoting the industrial development of Carbon County.
One fun fact about Carbon County is that it was part of Pennsylvania's "Coal Region." Both the Switchback Railroad, known as the first roller coaster in the United States and completed in 1827, and the Hauto Tunnel, completed in 1872, were essential to the coal transportation industry. Today, Carbon County's rich history and natural beauty continue to make it an attractive tourist destination, with attractions like the Jim Thorpe Historic District and the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway.
