About Forty Fort

Forty Fort is named for the fort built around 1770 by forty of the first Connecticut settlers in the Wyoming Valley. On July 3, 1778 the Battle of Wyoming, also called the Wyoming Massacre, was fought nearby, and Forty Fort surrendered the following day. The borough was incorporated in 1887.

Coal mining shaped the borough through the industrial era, as it did the rest of the valley. Forty Fort sits on the west bank of the Susquehanna just north of Wilkes-Barre, on a floodplain now protected by a levee.

The Wyoming Seminary Lower School is in the borough, and the Wilkes-Barre Wyoming Valley Airport straddles its northern line with Wyoming. Forty Fort had 4,239 residents in 2020. It is one of the more sought-after west-side boroughs, with well-kept coal-era and early 20th-century homes and steady demand.
