About Larksville

Larksville was formed from Plymouth Township and incorporated as a borough on November 10, 1909. The community was first called Blindtown and later took the name Larksville, which local history records as honoring a resident named Peggy Lark.

Larksville grew as an anthracite mining borough in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with collieries including the Boston, Loree, Lance, and Woodward. Its population topped 9,000 by 1920 before mining collapsed across the region after the 1959 Knox Mine Disaster.
