Pennsylvania Route 191 is a Pennsylvania highway which runs for 100 miles. It runs from Lehigh Valley Thruway (US 22) in Brodhead, Pennsylvania to the New York state line over the Delaware River at Hancock, New York. This highway is another way to get to The Poconos.

[edit] History

Until 1961, PA 191 between Stockertown and the New York state line, as well as the Sullivan Trail from Stockertown to Easton, was known as Pennsylvania Route 90. In 1961, PA 90 was decommissioned and replaced with PA 191 from Stockertown to the state line and Pennsylvania Route 115 from Stockertown to Easton. PA 115 has since been truncated to Brodheadsville.
