Where Pennsylvania's Natural Beauty Drives Business

Susquehanna County stretches across northeastern Pennsylvania's Endless Mountains region, where 38,000 residents and over 1,800 businesses thrive amid rolling hills, pristine lakes, and historic small towns. This is where Interstate 81 meets country roads, where natural gas workers share diners with dairy farmers, and where the pace of life allows room for both productivity and peace.

A County Built on Independence

Montrose, our county seat, exemplifies the independent spirit that defines Susquehanna County. With its historic courthouse square and locally-owned shops, this town of 1,600 anchors a county where entrepreneurship isn't just encouraged - it's essential. From Hallstead's Main Street businesses to New Milford's antique shops, from Forest City's industrial heritage to Susquehanna Depot's railroad history, each community maintains its unique character while contributing to the county's economic fabric.

The natural gas industry transformed our economy over the past decade, bringing new investment while agriculture remains our backbone. Family dairy farms dot the landscape alongside maple syrup operations, while small manufacturers and service businesses serve both longtime residents and newcomers drawn by opportunity and quality of life.
