الموقع الإلكترونيHonesdale Borough

هونزديل هي borough and the county seat of, Wayne County, Pennsylvania, United States.[13] Located along the Lackawaxen River in northeastern Pennsylvania, it lies within the northern Pocono region and serves as a commercial and cultural hub for the surrounding rural area. The population was 4,458 at the time of the 2020 census.[14] Honesdale is located 32 ميل (51 km) northeast of Scranton.

Founded in the 19th century, Honesdale developed as the starting point of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, which transported coal from northeastern Pennsylvania to New York City. The borough later became a center for rail transportation with the operation of the Stourbridge Lion, the first commercial steam locomotive in the United States. The surrounding area provides recreational opportunities such as hiking, fishing, and boating, reflecting Honesdale’s location in a rural and scenic region.

الاستيطان المبكر والاسم

The discovery of anthracite coal in northeastern Pennsylvania in the early 1800s and the need to transport this fuel to New York City led to the creation of the Delaware and Hudson Canal and the development of the Borough of Honesdale. The area, originally called Dyberry Forks for the confluence of the East and West branches of the Dyberry Creek, was laid out as a village in 1826 when the Delaware and Hudson (D&H) Canal was created.[15] The borough was named for Philip Hone, former mayor of New York City and president of Honesdale's D&H Canal Company.[1] Honesdale was incorporated as a borough on January 28, 1831.[3]

The Honesdale Residential Historic District and the D&H Canal are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[16]

Honesdale is recognized as the birthplace of the American Railroad. On August 8, 1829, the Stourbridge Lion, the first commercial steam locomotive run on rails in the United States, operated on a short stretch from Honesdale to Seelyville and back. The locomotive, owned by the D&H Canal Company, was considered too heavy for regular service, but the experiment marked a milestone in American transportation history.[17]

The D&H Canal Company transported anthracite coal from mines near Carbondale to New York City via Honesdale and Kingston, New York. Coal was moved from the mines to Honesdale by a gravity-powered railroad, then transferred to barges along a 108-mile canal to Kingston, and finally shipped down the Hudson River to New York City.[17]

The main boiler of the original Stourbridge Lion was eventually acquired by the Smithsonian Institution in 1890 and is currently on loan at the National Museum of Railroad History & Innovation in Baltimore, Maryland. Honesdale’s Wayne County Historical Society Museum contains a full-scale replica of the Stourbridge Lion, built by the D&H Railroad Company using the original blueprints for the 1933 Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago. The replica was relocated to Honesdale in 1941 and remains a central historical attraction.[18]

Passenger excursions run seasonally along the historic Stourbridge Line from Honesdale to Hawley, covering twenty-five miles along the Lackawaxen River. Excursions depart from the platform at the Wayne County Visitors Center, offering visitors a chance to experience Honesdale’s railroading heritage.[19]
