Dupont is a borough in the Greater Pittston area of Luzerne County, earlier known as Smithville. It incorporated in 1917. The name comes from the DuPont company, whose works supplied the blasting powder and explosives used in the region's coal mines.
Coal mining supported the borough through the first half of the 20th century, and the explosives operation that gave Dupont its name closed as mining methods changed. The borough covers about 1.6 square miles and had 2,539 residents in 2020.
Federal judge Edwin Kosik and pulp illustrator Rudolph Belarski were from Dupont, and professional golfer Brandon Matthews is a native. The borough sits just off Interstate 81 near the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport, a convenient residential community of mostly modest single-family homes.
