About Moscow
Moscow was settled around 1830 by the Reverend Peter Rupert, a Lutheran minister who built a sawmill on the site in 1831. The borough is named for Moscow, Russia, by local tradition. It incorporated as a borough in 1908.
Lumber and farming shaped the early economy. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad ran through Moscow and built passenger and freight stations here. The restored station is a stop for excursion trains from Steamtown.
