Wapwallopen is an unincorporated community in Conyngham Township, Luzerne County. The name is of Lenape origin, from a word meaning roughly 'place where white wild hemp grows,' and marks a former Native American settlement.
The village sits where Big Wapwallopen Creek meets the Susquehanna River, downriver and southwest of Wilkes-Barre.
This is a small, rural riverside settlement. Housing is limited and country in character, with older homes and properties on wooded and open land along the creek and river.
Wapwallopen suits buyers looking for a quiet rural setting and river access south of the Wyoming Valley, at prices well below the suburban Back Mountain.
