This mountainous area of Pennsylvania includes the Pocono Mountains, the Endless Mountains and former anthracite coal mining cities and towns, including Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton, Pittston and Carbondale. U.S. Presidents Harry Truman and George W. Bush both visited this area more than once during their presidencies, particularly Bush who has thus far visited northeastern Pennsylvania a total of six times. Northeast PA is home to the U.S. Defense Department's most expansive electronics maintenance facility, the Tobyhanna Army Depot.
