Wyoming County, Pennsylvania.

Where Nature and Community Converge

Wyoming County stretches across northeastern Pennsylvania's Endless Mountains, where 26,000 residents have built a community that values both natural beauty and economic opportunity. This is where Route 6 winds through pristine forests, the Susquehanna River carves through ancient valleys, and small businesses form the backbone of tight-knit communities that have thrived for generations.

A Foundation Built on Independence

Tunkhannock, our county seat with 1,800 residents, exemplifies Wyoming County's entrepreneurial spirit. Historic downtown storefronts house family businesses that have served the community for decades, while new ventures in outdoor recreation and agritourism capitalize on our stunning natural assets. From Meshoppen to Nicholson, from Laceyville to Factoryville, each of our communities maintains its unique identity while contributing to the county's economic vitality.

The Nicholson Bridge - once the world's largest concrete viaduct - stands as a testament to Wyoming County's role in American infrastructure. Today, that same spirit of building connections drives our local economy, from dairy farms supplying regional markets to small manufacturers serving specialized niches, from healthcare providers caring for rural communities to tourism businesses showcasing our natural splendor.

Why Businesses Choose Wyoming County

The economics make sense: commercial space costs 50-70% less than in Scranton or Wilkes-Barre. Our proximity to major markets - just 30 miles to Scranton, 130 miles to Philadelphia - provides access without urban overhead. The workforce may be smaller at 12,500, but it's dedicated, skilled, and values the stability that local employers provide.

Natural gas development has brought new investment and jobs, while traditional sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, and healthcare remain strong. Small businesses thrive here because customers are neighbors, word-of-mouth matters, and community support runs deep.

Life in the Endless Mountains

This is authentic rural Pennsylvania at its finest. The Susquehanna River offers world-class smallmouth bass fishing. State Game Lands cover thousands of acres for hunting and hiking. The D&H Rail Trail provides 38 miles of scenic paths. Lazy Brook Park hosts community gatherings, while the Wyoming County Fairgrounds bring everyone together each summer.

Families appreciate the safe communities, where crime rates are among Pennsylvania's lowest and schools maintain that small-town attention to each student. Housing remains genuinely affordable with median home values at $205,600 - you can still buy acreage here without breaking the bank.

Your Strategic Rural Location

Wyoming County's location offers the best of both worlds. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre is 30 minutes south via Route 29. Binghamton, NY is 45 minutes north on Route 11. The Pocono Mountains are an hour east. This positioning allows businesses to serve multiple markets while maintaining lower operational costs.

Major routes include US Route 6 (the Grand Army Highway) running east-west, Route 29 connecting to I-81, and Routes 92 and 29 providing north-south corridors. While we're rural, we're far from isolated - strategic location has always been one of Wyoming County's hidden advantages.
