Shenandoah, Mining town in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania
This northern Pennsylvania borough spans 1.6 square miles of land characterized by traditional row houses and former mining infrastructure built during industrial expansion.
Peter Kehley established the first settlement in 1830 by constructing a log cabin and maintaining a farm before the Philadelphia Land Company purchased the land in 1850.
The borough contains multiple historic religious buildings, including the first Greek Catholic church and the oldest Lithuanian Roman Catholic church in the United States.
The Borough Hall at 15 West Washington Street manages public services including sewer maintenance, trash collection, street cleaning, and recycling programs.
Three major rail lines served this mining center simultaneously: the Lehigh Valley Railroad, Pennsylvania Railroad, and Reading Railroad, connecting the town to regional networks.
