Luzerne was first settled in 1807 and incorporated as a borough in 1882. It shares its name with the county, both honoring the Chevalier de la Luzerne, a French diplomat who aided the American cause in the Revolution.
In the early 20th century Luzerne combined coal mining with manufacturing, and the borough held mines, a foundry, drill and silk works, and mills. The mines closed with the rest of the valley's anthracite industry.
Luzerne sits about 5 miles north of Wilkes-Barre among the west-side boroughs and had 2,711 residents in 2020. Its compact stock of coal-era homes and doubles keeps it an affordable entry point next to Kingston.
