East Stroudsburg, Borough in Monroe County, Pennsylvania
East Stroudsburg is a borough in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, located in the Pocono Mountains region. The town sits between New York City and Philadelphia and centers around a historic railroad station that remains a focal point for local connectivity.
The area began as Dansbury Manor in 1737 and faced a major attack in 1755. It later became a transportation hub with the arrival of the railroad in the mid-1800s and grew as an educational and healthcare center.
The railroad station from 1864 serves as a gathering place where residents connect and participate in community life. It reflects how rail transportation has shaped the town's identity and remains at its heart.
The borough is accessible via Interstate 80 and Route 209, making it convenient to reach from nearby cities. The surrounding Pocono region offers outdoor activities, and the downtown area is walkable with shops and restaurants.
The town is home to a university that attracts thousands of students and shapes the local economy and social scene. Visitors often overlook that the hospital operating here began in 1915 as a small general facility and has since become a major regional medical center.
