Kingston

This compact Pennsylvania borough sits on the western bank of the Susquehanna River opposite Wilkes-Barre, with a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size and an unusual concentration of historic churches. First settled in the early 1770s and incorporated as a borough in 1857, Kingston has the Pocono Mountains within reach and the river right at its doorstep.
