Explore Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in an RVshare RV Rental

Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania is the county seat of Luzerne County. It is part of the larger Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/Hazleton metropolitan area, which has a population of 563,631. The city itself has a population of about 45,000 and sits in the center of the Wyoming Valley, home of the anthracite coal fields of Northeast Pennsylvania. 

Wilkes-Barre was founded in 1769. Its growth went into warp speed in the 19th century when a Wilkes-Barre resident named Jesse Fell discovered that anthracite coal could be burned as an alternative to wood. Fell was the first person to successfully burn anthracite on an open-air grate. Historians credit Fell's discovery with helping to fuel America's industrial revolution. In the late 19th and early 20th century, hundreds of thousands of immigrants flocked to the Wyoming Valley to work in the coal mines or otherwise seek their fortunes among the industrial and economic force that was Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. 

Coal mining is no longer done on a large scale in the region — the end of that era is marked by a disaster that flooded mines in 1959. However, the area is still proud of its mining heritage and the hard-working people that built the town. In fact, Wilkes-Barre's nickname is the Diamond City, based on the old belief that diamonds are formed from pressurized coal.

While Wilkes-Barre is no longer an industrial powerhouse, it is a friendly place with a small-town feel and is surrounded by beautiful natural areas. It has a rich history as the birthplace of American companies like Woolworths, Planter's Peanuts, and HBO, and it's just a two-hour drive from Philadelphia and New York City. You can view fascinating exhibits about local history, including artifacts from the Leni Lenape indigenous peoples, at the three-story Luzerne County Historical Society on S. Franklin Street. 

Hundreds of restaurants in Wilkes-Barre serve mostly casual food. This part of Pennsylvania is known as a pizza lover's paradise. Some favorite spots in W-B are Pizza L'Oven and Angelo's Pizza. Cafe Toscana is a popular downtown spot to dine, and La Tolteca is a great place to enjoy Mexican food with outdoor seating.
