The Lattimer Massacre took place in the township on September 10, 1897, when sheriff's deputies fired on unarmed strikers marching from Harwood to Lattimer, killing nineteen and wounding thirty-eight; a state historical marker calls it one of the most serious acts of violence in American labor history. Actor Jack Palance was born in Lattimer Mines in 1919.
Hazle Township is the suburban and commercial ring of greater Hazleton. It holds much of the area's newer housing, retail, and warehouse employment, offering more modern homes and larger lots than the dense city blocks it surrounds.
