Hawley, Pennsylvania
In the late 18th Century, pioneers moving west through these woodlands found a place where three creeks converged. They settled here and built a sawmill, eventually rafting lumber down the Lackawaxen and Delaware to Philadelphia. The first child of the settlement was born in 1812; the first store opened in 1827; the following year the Delaware & Hudson Canal, running from Honesdale to New York, was completed, and anthracite coal began moving on barges along towpaths through Hawley to New York markets.
From the 1840's to the 1860's the area experienced great prosperity. The Pennsylvania Coal Company completed a gravity railroad as another route to connect coal mines to the canals. People were employed at the transfer docks, in train car and repair shops, storehouses, and other places needed for business. At first the town was known as Paupack Eddy. It was renamed Falls Port, then Hawleysburgh, in honor of Irad Hawley, the first president of the Pennsylvania Coal Company. Finally in 1851, the name was shortened to its present name, Hawley. With the arrival in 1865 of the Erie Railroad, the canal and gravity railroad declined in use. The basin of the canal system was filled in and became a playing field. In 1929 the Albert W. Bingham family donated it to the borough as a park which bears the family name. Other industries succeeded Hawley's lumber and coal beginnings, including fine cut glass and silk and textile mills.
In 1925, the Pennsylvania Power & Light Company dammed the Wallenpaupack Creek for hydroelectric power and created the largest man made lake in the state. Hawley's back yard became a new resource for recreational and business opportunities which continue today. We invite you to explore the town of Hawley and experience the spirit and legacy we are working to preserve. Hawley's peaceful country inns and resorts, rivers and creek, historical sites, and a rich diversity of restaurants makes this an ideal place to live.
