About Covington Township

Covington Township was established in 1818, formed from Wilkes-Barre Township when the area was still part of Luzerne County. It is named for Brigadier General Leonard Covington, a cavalry officer of the War of 1812.

The township grew on land Philadelphia merchant Henry Drinker bought in 1787, a timbered tract known as Drinker's Beech. Timber was the first industry. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad laid track through the township in 1856 to carry anthracite east.
