Northeastern Pennsylvania

United States

Northeastern Pennsylvania shares 99 connections with 1509 other places across 19 topics, ranging from anthracite coal geology to higher education. Education leads the topic mix, grounded in institutions such as Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, the region's only medical school, and three college preparatory schools in Kingston, Scranton, and Freeland. The region's Susquehanna River ridge-and-valley terrain holds the world's richest anthracite coal deposits, a resource credited with enabling the American Industrial Revolution. Strong ties link it to Philadelphia and Wyoming Valley.
