History & History Related Items Sunbury history: "Sunbury earned a line in the nation's history in 1883 when Thomas Edison began operating the world's first three-wire central electric lighting station here. Edison was drawn to Sunbury because of its cheap, abundant energy resources, but local residents apparently weren't drawn to Edison. Many local folks were simply afraid to walk near the electric wires. Sitting at the point where the west and north branches of the Susquehanna converge, Sunbury dates back to 1772 and shares its name with the city on the Thames, southwest of London. The word means "city of the sun."
