Wayne County was created from Northampton County in 1798 and named after General Anthony Wayne. Its proximity to New York City and neighboring urban areas has been a major factor in the county’s heritage ever since this nation was young.
It was the discovery of anthracite coal in northeastern Pennsylvania, in the early 1800s, and the need to transport this fuel to New York City, which gave birth to the Delaware and Hudson Canal, the American Railroad and the county seat. In fact, Wayne County is remembered as the birthplace of the American Railroad.

The first locomotive to arrive in Honesdale was the Stourbridge Lion, manufactured by Foster, Rastrick and Company of Stourbridge, England. On the front of the boiler was painted the head of a lion. Delivered by canal, it was unloaded in the summer of 1829, and on August 8, 1829, it made a short trip between Honesdale and Seelyville with Horatio Allen as the engineer. Farming, ice harvesting, lumbering, tanneries, children’s summer camps and boarding homes have also all contributed to the early Wayne County economy.
