Pittston, PA Real Estate

Pittston (properly pronounced pits-ton ) is a city in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. It gained prominence in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as an active coal mining city, drawing a large portion of its labor force from European immigrants.

Pittston is the midpoint city between Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. Named after the famous statesman William Pitt, the city was founded in 1838 and was originally named Pittstown.

Through the late 1800s, Pittston City was known to extend to the borders of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. However, due to financial and civil differences, Pittston City would soon be divided into the many townships and boroughs that exist along the east side of the Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys today.

Coal was king in Pittston until the Knox Mine Disaster in nearby Port Griffith in Jenkins Township, Pennsylvania essentially shut down the mining industry in Northeastern Pennsylvania in 1959. Twelve miners were killed immediately, their bodies washed away in the flood, never to be seen again. There were 74 workers in the mine at the time of the calamity; 62 of them were able to escape by various means, some involving the highest heroism on the part of their co-workers.
