The Town | Forest City, PA

VISIT US ANYTIME

The Historic Forest City Area has an even greater history of welcoming visitors, new neighbors & businesses since our coal-mining boom days nearly a century ago.

Families from across the globe have chosen our home as theirs, generations have prospered, our business community continues to grow, & we’re naturally surrounded by our namesake—beautiful forests, inviting you to explore them & our bountiful attractions.

You will find a variety of events throughout the Greater Forest City Area year-round that welcome community members & visitors alike. We have something for everyone including local fairs & picnics, community events, live entertainment, art exhibits, classes, workshops & more. We hope to see you at one soon!

We are a downtown of down-home people who take the time to know your name & help you out. We’re easy to find & conveniently located at the intersection of Lackawanna, Susquehanna and Wayne Counties. With nearby access to Interstate 81 and Route 6, expanding businesses rely on our efficient infrastructure for manufacturing, warehousing, shipping & receiving. Our skilled labor force brings talents and experience, while nearly a dozen area universities & trade institutes provide exceptional training for all. Johnson College of Scranton now offers classes right here too!

Our “Main Street America” way of life goes much farther than Main Street, Forest City. You’ll find most everything close by, from banks, legal & accounting firms, restaurants & bars, grocers, beauty salons, car dealerships, auto body shops, telecom services, & more. Just around the corner are farm stands & horse-riding stables, county fairs & festivals, parades, open house art openings, plus the wide open spaces of our surrounding lakes, trails, rivers & endless mountains.

If you have lived here all your life, relocated to the area, or are just visiting, our town has so many resources for you from professional services to community services & more, take a look!
