Throop incorporated as a borough in 1894. It is named for Dr. Benjamin Henry Throop, a prominent early Scranton physician.
Coal mining and silk manufacturing were the borough's main industries. The Price-Pancoast Colliery fire in 1911 killed 72 miners, one of the worst disasters in the northern anthracite field.
Throop is home to the Mid Valley Secondary Center and elementary campus of the Mid Valley School District. It sits just northeast of Scranton along the Lackawanna River, in Lackawanna County, and covers about 5 square miles. Its population was 4,078 at the 2020 census. Coal-era and postwar homes make it an affordable borough within minutes of the city.
