About Hughestown

Hughestown is a borough in Luzerne County, bordering Pittston in the Greater Pittston area. It was settled around 1836 and incorporated as a borough on April 7, 1879, having earlier been part of Pittston Township.

Anthracite coal drove the borough. The Pennsylvania Coal Company's No. 9 Breaker processed coal from the surrounding mines, and mining supported Hughestown into the 20th century before the industry declined and mined land was reclaimed for housing.

The borough is small, with 1,329 residents in 2020, and covers a compact area next to Pittston. Its housing is mostly coal-era frame and brick homes, an affordable entry point right at the edge of the Greater Pittston core.
