Scranton (Pennsylvania) - Wink Travel Guide

The city grew vigorously in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as a capital of coal mining and railroads, which were vital to the expanding industry in this part of the country.

From 2005 to 2013, Scranton entered American popular culture as the setting for the U.S. version of the TV series The Office.

Scranton is host to many architecturally interesting buildings from the early 1900s, most notably the county courthouse in the middle of Central City.
