Scranton is an area located in the northeastern part of Pennsylvania. Native American Tribe of Lenape originally inhabited the area here before the Europeans came. The first European to arrive here was Isaac Tripp in 1778 who built a home that stands to date at the modern day North Scranton a town formerly known as Providence. After Isaac had come, more settlers from Connecticut moved to this region in the late eighteenth and nineteenth century after the end of American Revolutionary War. This area began developing gradually when the inhabitants of a village known as Slocum Hollow established the first small businesses and a mill. The mining of anthracite coal in Wilkes-Barre and Carbondale, which led to the establishment of Lackawanna Steel Company and the building of Lackawanna-Western Railroad, are some of the factors that precipitated the rapid early growth of this city.

Today, Scranton has transformed from a small, agrarian-based village to a modern city located in Lackawanna County where it is the county seat. The area here covers a total area of approximately 25.4 square miles and is home to about 85,000 people making it the sixth largest city in Pennsylvania. Though the popular TV series called 'The Office' was filmed in California, Scranton was picked as the home to its fictitious Dunder Mifflin paper company that the show revolved around.
