Travel Tips
Go right to the source - the Pennsylvania Department of General Services publishes the State Manual that includes a chapter on Pennsylvania history. The latest manual is available online for free.

To see all the chapters in the PA Manual Volume 117 go here:
http://www.dgs.state.pa.us/pamanual/cwp/...

To view just the History chapter in PDF format (make sure you have Adobe Reader already installed) use this link:
http://www.dgs.state.pa.us/pamanual/lib/...

For general information and background on the manual itself (a good thing to have in case you need to cite it for your project) see this page:
http://www.dgs.state.pa.us/pamanual/site...

I hope this helps. Good luck with your project.

Here is a site that gives alot of information regarding city data (for all cities in Pa) this link is to their page for Wilkes-Barre but this page links to all the others. W-B by the way gives Pa alot of history (as well as the upper NE Pa because of the Coal Mining era)

Also upper NE Pa their were NE Native American Indians...alot of Cities and towns are named from Indian words and names
