Transportation
One of the first railroads in the Western Hemisphere was built in 1828-1829, beginning here. Its eastern terminus was at Honesdale, and its southwestern terminus was later extended to Archbald and ultimately to Valley Junction near Olyphant. Built by the Delaware and Hudson to move coal to the D and H Canal, the line eventually provided passenger service and operated until the beginning of 1899.
