History & History Related Items
"To transport coal to the eastern markets, gravity railroads carried the loads out of the Lackawanna Valley and over the Moosic Mountains into Honesdale. At Honesdale, coal was transferred onto the barges of the D&H canal. The canal construction had been pioneered by Philip Hone, a wealthy New York mayor and first president of the D&H. The town was known initially, in 1827, as Hone's Dale"
