About Mount Pocono
Mount Pocono is a borough near the center of Monroe County, perched at nearly 2,000 feet. It incorporated in 1927 after separating from Coolbaugh Township. The post office opened as New Mount Pleasant in 1848, was renamed Forks in 1864 for its road junction, and took the name Mount Pocono in 1886.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad built a station here in 1886 and turned the borough into a major summer-resort destination. Passenger service ended in 1965.
