Wayne County is in the northeastern corner of Pennsylvania and was formed from Northampton County in 1798 and named for Revolutionary War hero Anthony Wayne. Its proximity to New York City and other urban centers has shaped the county’s development since its earliest days. 

The discovery of anthracite coal in the early 1800s spurred construction of the Delaware and Hudson Canal needed to transport fuel to New York City and contributed to the growth of the Borough of Honesdale, the county seat.

Farming, lumbering, tanneries, summer camps and boarding homes all impacted the early growth of the economy. Today agriculture, forestry and tourism all continue to be important economic drivers alongside small industry and construction. 

Wayne County covers about 763 square miles and includes 28 municipalities. Major highways as Interstate 84 and 81 and Routes 6 and 191 serve the county and support the overall transportation needs of the county.
