Pike County, Administrative county in northeastern Pennsylvania, US
Pike County spans 567 square miles of land featuring river valleys and foothills of the Poconos Mountains alongside Lake Wallenpaupack.
Named after General Zebulon Pike, the county was established in 1814 from part of Wayne County, with Nicholas Depui settling as the first European in 1725.
Grey Towers in Milford served as a field study location for the Yale School of Forestry, contributing to regional forestry education from 1904 to 1926.
The county connects to New York City through Interstate 84, with a driving distance of 90 minutes to metropolitan markets and business centers.
The Delaware and Hudson Canal, completed in 1828, transformed Pike County into a vital transportation route for coal delivery to New York City.
