About Freeland, Pennsylvania

Freeland is a borough of 3,833 people in Luzerne County, set on the Broad Mountain at 2,190 feet above tidewater. Joseph Birkbeck, born in Westmorland, England, in 1802, bought land here and farmed the hillside. As new coal mines nearby brought workers who needed places to live, he surveyed a town called South Heberton, which survives today as a cluster of houses along Schwabe Street.

In 1868 A. Donop, a clerk for G. B. Markle at Jeddo, bought land, laid out a village he named Freehold, and sold lots for $10 on easy terms. Growth was slow, but the place grew busy enough to win a post office, and the name became Freeland. Voters backed a borough by a wide margin, and Freeland was incorporated on September 11, 1876, in the nation's centennial year. Coal mining stayed the chief industry until it collapsed after the 1959 Knox Mine Disaster.

  • A schoolhouse moved off the coalThe first schoolhouse went up in 1868, but miners later dug under the spot and the ground threatened to sink. The building was moved onto Birkbeck's land, which put it inside the new borough. When the borough and Foster Township divided their affairs, the township got the old school and a little money, and the borough built its own five-room frame school at Washington and Chestnut.
  • The first borough officersFreeland elected its first officers on October 10, 1876. Rudolph Ludwig became burgess and Henry Koons led the council. William Johnson, who had built the first house in the place, was chosen high constable, and A. Donop, the man who laid out the village, served as the first clerk.
  • Slovak Lutherans since 1883Michael Zemany, a pioneer Slovak Lutheran, did most of the work of organizing a congregation in Freeland, the first Slovak Evangelical Lutheran one in the Western Hemisphere. It held its first service on February 22, 1883, and put up its church building in 1886, later remodeled.
  • A St. Patrick's Day paradeMany Freeland families have Irish roots, so each year a St. Patrick's Day parade goes through downtown, with a dinner afterward. The borough also marks Memorial Day and Veterans Day, and the Memorial Day events include a Pub Run, in which runners stop at a string of bars, usually nine, and must empty a drink at every one.
