About Cresco
Cresco is a community in Barrett Township, Monroe County, on Cranberry Creek. It was first known as Oakland.
In 1856 the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad opened its only Barrett Township station at Cresco, and that stop launched the township's resort era. Visitors came from New York and Philadelphia to the mountain boarding houses.
