Scranton
The United States of America is a country in North America that extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and shares land borders with Canada and Mexico. The United States is a federal constitutional republic, with its capital in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia.
The city of Scranton is the county seat of Lackawanna County in Northeastern Pennsylvania, USA. In 2000, the population of the city was 76,415 and an area of 65.9 square kilometers. After Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Erie and Reading, Scranton is Pennsylvania's sixth most crowded city. Scranton is the geographic and cultural center of the Lackawanna River valley, a relatively dense area directly between the vastly rural Pocono Mountains to the east and endless mountains to the west. Scranton was incorporated as a borough on February 14, 1856 and as a city on April 23, 1866.
A city known for its historic myths and traditions, scenic beauty, cooperative people and luxurious hotels and cottages, Scranton is one of the favorite holiday destinations for most of the vacation lovers.
