Chase rests within a fold of rolling hills, where the land gently slopes toward the Susquehanna River. It lies 5.0 miles west-north-west of Wilkes Barre, PA (from Wilkes Barre, PA: bearing 302°T), and is situated 5.0 miles west-north-west of Wilkes-Barre. The air here carries a damp, earthy scent, particularly after a rain, a perfume of rich soil and the nearby forests that climb the inclines. Fields of corn and soybeans stretch across the lower elevations, their green a vibrant contrast to the deeper emerald of the wooded slopes, and in the distance, the hazy blue of mountains forms a soft, undulating horizon. The character of Chase is one of quiet persistence, a place where life moves with the steady, predictable turning of the seasons. Historically, Chase owes its existence to the fertile river valley and the promise of industry. The discovery of anthracite coal in the surrounding mountains in the 19th century drew miners and their families, shaping the very contours of the region with the deep cuts of mines and the scattered remnants of breaker buildings, now softened by time and encroaching vegetation. This legacy of hard labor is still palpable, a quiet echo in the enduring strength of the local community. While mining has largely faded, the economy now finds its footing in smaller businesses and the continued, though less dominant, agricultural presence. The river itself, a constant, murmuring presence, has always been a vital artery, shaping trade and travel, and its banks still offer a quiet beauty, especially as the afternoon sun casts long shadows across the water.
