Welcome to The Panther Valley

The story of coal literally began in Summit Hill, in 1791, Philip Ginder discovered a black rock that turned out to be stone coal, or anthracite.

Lansford grew with the development of local anthracite coal mines. The old No. 9 Mine and Museum in Lansford, a deep mine which operated from 1855 to 1972, is now open as a tourist attraction offering tours of the mine and a wealth of information on local mining history. A museum occupying the mine's former Wash Shanty building on the site displays a large collection of mining artifacts.

The name Nesquehoning is of Native American origin, commonly believed to signify "narrow valley;" however native language scholars translate the name as "at the black lick" or "at the dirty lick," referring to mineral licks frequented by deer or other animals. Nesquehoning was established as a result of the anthracite coal mining industry.
