Description

Wilkes-Barre, founded in 1769, is a city of changes: environmental changes brought on by the Susquehanna River and industrial changes that transformed a quiet farming community into a busy breaker town. When anthracite coal used to be found out within the 1800s and massive coal breakers were built, immigrants from eastern, western, and southern Europe started to arrive. As these immigrants arrived, they changed the face of the city, creating their very own communities and hamlets. Fortunately for the citizens of the Wyoming Valley, changes continue nowadays, way to many forward-thinking women and men who see the prospective in something old and make an effort to make it new again.
