History
The first permanent settlers were attracted to this area by an abundance of natural resources: land, trees, and water. The township was incorporated in 1830, with 230 residents. It was named after Tobyhanna Creek, “A stream lined with alders” in Native American. Local industries were lumber, ice harvesting, and farming, followed in the 20th Century by recreation, youth camps, and vacation resorts.
