Moscow rests in a verdant hollow, where the shoulders of the Pocono Mountains begin their gentle incline. It lies 9.0 miles east-south-east of Scranton, PA (from Scranton, PA: bearing 124°T), and is situated 8.2 miles south-east of Dunmore. The air here, particularly in the late afternoons of autumn, carries a crisp, pine-scented perfume, a testament to the dense woods that hem the small borough. Rolling hills, cloaked in oak and maple, spill down towards the valley floor, their slopes etched with the faint scars of forgotten logging roads. A sense of quiet repose pervades Moscow, a stillness that seems to absorb the hurried sounds of the outside world, leaving only the rustle of leaves and the distant chime of church bells. The history of Moscow is deeply entwined with the exploitation and subsequent resurgence of its natural resources. Once a bustling hub for the lumber industry, its sawmills and planing mills hummed with activity, shaping the very timber that built so much of the region. This legacy is still visible in the sturdy, clapboard-sided homes that line its streets, many of them built from wood felled in the surrounding forests. Later, the region’s coal veins drew miners, their labor fueling the industrial might of a nation, though that era has largely receded, leaving behind a landscape that is now slowly reclaiming itself. Today, Moscow thrives on a more measured pace, its economy supported by small businesses and residents who commute to larger employment centers, cherishing the enduring peace and distinctive charm of their home.
