that they will stand the Tazewell roads
better than any that have been used in
the county.

who came to the village that grew to
the city, the first in the anthracite
region; and today their sons are in emf
nent places all over the country. Their
influence Is felt and their names are
honored throughout the length and
breadth of the land, and Carbondale
will he proud to welcome them to the
"seats of their youth" during these
days of jubilating JOY.
The Name of Carbondale.
1t was the magic power of coal that
levelAd the forests and raised the city
of Carbondale, and 20 this the city
owes its name. Washington Irving,
the great novelist, it was, who gave
the name TO the city. He was inter-
ested in the Delaware and Hudson ca
nal company and he showed a bccOm-
ing sense of appreciation of the eternal
fitness of things when he Christened
the then thriving village "Carbondale."
This was in 1879. after the completion
Of the road to Honesdale. Some freight
came over the road labeled I'D. x n.
c. Co, Carbondale." The name fitted
80 we'll that it remains to this day.
Birth of Coal Industry.
The birth of the coal industry dates
hack to lS9& when William Wurts. Of
Philadelphia. and his brother, Maurice.
secured tracts Of lands from the
Quakers who owned them, and bcEar
to dig out coal from the hillsidos. The
first shipments were iloated down the
Delaware river from LackawaXen tO
Philadelphia, hut when they We're
brought in competition with Lehgh
coal the Wurts' turned their attention
10 the New York market, and this is
what led to the building OF the Della
MARE and Hudson canal which was
completed in 1928,
, The first house in Carbondale was
the old log tavern shown among to-
days Illustrations. This was located
near the present city station of the
Delaware and hudson company. This
old tavern has been occupied by fami.
lies who are here and among those
whose modest home was there is Johr
Copeland, the present prothonotary OF
I.ackaWannd county.
The Pioneer Railway.
The gravity road was the pioneer
railway, and its completion in lS2
gave first communication with tn,
world outside of the wilderness of III,
growing village. Chains We're tirs

In the history of counties of Pcnnsyl-

1919, the story of Carbondalc's career
up tn that period is interestingly rclat-
cd as follows:
"Carbondalc, now populous Dor

IN APPROACHING the history o.

TN APPROACHING the history of
Carbondale, the fact that stands
out most prominently Is that with
the birth Of the place also took place
the birth of the great anthracite coal
industry.
.SCarbundalc is the Anthracite city"
It is also, the pioneer city of the an
thraclte region, and among ii claims
this one Is foremost that II Is the old
est city in the hard coal regions. When
Carbondale was city fifteen years,
Scranton took on that dignity, and II
was FIVE years after this when Wilkes
Barre was clothed in its municipal rail-
ment.
The history of Carbondale Is not
fraught with great achievements: II
cannot lay claim to any great accom-
plishments such as the pushing and
bustlng Electric city down the val
ley, hut 1t can boast of
A hold pessantry. their countrys pride,

tions to the civic, financial and social

tarred ropes were substituted in 1880.
Beginning with 1888 freight was car
ricd. The gravity road was EXTENDED
to Archibald in 1916, to Olyphant In
1853, the year in which the first pas
ssngor train ran there.
In the annals of Lu2erne County
published by Stewart Pcarce in 1866, II
says of Carbondale:
Prior To that time ii was borough.
The first house in the place was built
by Maurice Wurts, esq, in 1924 and for
some years was used as a boarding
house. and called the Log Tavern
"In the year 1925 Catholic church
was built, also union church, oCcu-
rcd by the Protestants, and a school
house. with a few exceptions, the fol-
