Accident LawyersHazleton,
Pennsylvania, is located in eastern Pennsylvania, just south of
I-80. With a population of its own of 24,730, Hazleton shares amenities
with its surrounding communities, particularly Wilkes-Barre.
Hazleton's easy access to
I-80 and the The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport makes it a
commuter's haven. Luzerne County, Pennsylvania
Named for the proliferation
of hazel bushes in the area, "Hazel Town" became one word,
"Hazeltown", and then "Hazleton". In 1856,
"Hazleton" was misspelled on the city's incorporation papers as
"Hazleton" and has remained so since then.
Northeastern Pennsylvania is
one of only two places in the world where anthracite coal has been found.
Like its neighbors, Hazleton grew around this industry. The first
settlers, though were troops who came to this area to bury the victims of
the Wyoming
Massacre. Struck by the beauty of the area, many returned after the
Revolutionary War to settle. Today, Broad Street in downtown Hazleton,
follows the “warrior’s path” used by those long-ago Indians and
Tories. Hazleton's first industry was logging, and, in 1804, the Berwick
Turnpike was built along the old Indian trail to haul the logs on.
The Greater
Hazleton Historical Society is appropriately housed in one of the most
historic buildings in Hazleton, the Pioneer Firehouse. A fine museum is
offered here with recreated pioneer rooms, local Indian artifacts, antique
sheet music and theater memorabilia. The surprise is "The Liberty
Band", an exhibit dedicated to Hazleton's oldest band, which
originated during the Civil War.
Recreation and entertainment
abound in this lively metropolitan area at the foot of the charming
Poconos Mountains. Besides the Resorts, there is much to do and many
places to see such as the Wyoming Valley Raceway, The Luzerne County
Historical Society research library, museum, and historical homestead
setting, the Wyoming
Valley Sports Dome, Wilkes
University, F.M.
Kirby Center, Knoebels
Amusement Park, The
Lion Brewery (since 1901), Northeast
Pennsylvania Philharmonic, The Houdini Museum, The
Lackawana Coal Mine Tour, Pocono
International Raceway, and 5 Golf Courses.
