About Roaring Brook Township
Roaring Brook Township was formed on May 24, 1871. It takes its name from Roaring Brook, the stream that runs through it, which older accounts also call by its Indian name Nay Aug, though no authority records what that meant.
Both the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western and the Erie railroads followed the stream's course. The Roaring Brook watershed has long supplied drinking water to the Lackawanna Valley, with reservoirs including the Elmhurst Reservoir.

It sits just east of Scranton and Dunmore in Lackawanna County, in wooded terrain above the valley. Its population was 2,273 at the 2020 census. Single-family homes on large wooded lots make it a quiet commuter setting close to the city.
