Scranton is thesixth-largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania behind Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Erie and Reading.

With a population of 77,291, it is the largest city in the Scranton–Wilkes-Barre–Hazleton, PA MetropolitanStatistical Area, which has a population of about 570,000.
Scranton is the geographic and cultural center of the Lackawanna River valley, and the largest of the former anthracite coal mining communities in a contiguous quilt-work that also includes Wilkes-Barre, Pittston, and Carbondale.

It became a major industrial city, a center of mining and railroads, and attracted thousands of new immigrants. It was the site of the Scranton General Strike in 1877.
The city “took its first step toward earning its reputation as the Electric City” when electric lights were introduced in 1880 at Dickson Locomotive Works. Six years later, the nation’s first streetcars powered exclusively by electricity began operating in the city.
