Susquehanna County

 Susquehanna County was created on February 21, 1810, from part of Luzerne County. Montrose is the county seat. Its name is a combination of "mont," French word for "mountain" and Rose, for Dr. R. H. Rose, a prominent citizen.

Susquehanna County, located in the Northeast corner of the Endless Mountains, covers 535,040 acres of mountainous country-side. The County was named for the North branch of the Susquehanna River, which first enters Pennsylvania in the Northeastern corner of the county, makes a loop and re-enters New York approximately 27 miles to the West. Sixty percent of the County's land area is covered with forest. There are 169 natural water bodies and approximately 225 miles of flowing streams many of which are habitat for native trout.

The hills, valleys, lakes and streams all add to the "native beauty" everywhere you travel in Susquehanna County and the Endless Mountains in general. With all these beautiful sights and this natural beauty, our most important tourist attraction is PEOPLE, who make the county what it is! The vast variety of personalities living here, earning their livelihood, raising their families, or comfortable in their retirement years, makes Susquehanna County an attractive place to visit or spend a vacation.
