Dunmore was settled in 1835 and incorporated in 1862. Extensive anthracite coal, brick, stone, and silk interests had led to a rapid increase in the population from 8,315 in 1890 to 23,086 in 1940. The population was 14,057 at the 2010 Census. HistoryDunmore was settled in 1835 and incorporated in 1862.[2] The first white person to set foot on Dunmore soil was Count Zinzendorf of Saxony, in 1742, as a missionary to the native people[3] who were Munsee-speaking Delawares. The territory now encompassing Dunmore was purchased from the natives in 1754 by the Susquehanna Company of Connecticut and became the township of Providence. The first settlers of the Dunmore area arrived in 1771 and were originally from Connecticut (see Pennamite–Yankee War). William Allsworth established an inn here in 1783. In the summer of 1795, Charles Dolph, John Carey, and John West began the labor of clearing and plowing lands in the neighborhood of "Bucktown" or "Corners", as this area was called. Edward Lunnon, Isaac Dolph, James Brown, Philip Swartz and Levi De Puy, purchased land here between 1799–1805.[3] Stephen Tripp, in 1820, began the area's first business, erecting a saw and grist mill on the Roaring Brook half a mile south of the village. That same year, the Drinker Turnpike Company opened a store at the Corners. Shortly after Joseph Tanner opened the first blacksmith shop. C.W. Potter opened the first merchandising house in the village in 1845.[4] The village, consisting of but four houses, had a negative existence until the Pennsylvania Coal Company, in 1847-1848, turned it into a growing and diverse town.[5] By 1875, the township of Providence was dissolved and the land split up into various smaller boroughs and towns with Dunmore being one of them. Today, Dunmore is a borough bordering the city of Scranton. The name Dunmore comes from Dunmore Park, in the Falkirk area of Scotland (home of the Dunmore Pineapple). Golo Footwear had its original manufacturing and design facilities in Dunmore until 1957. GeographyDunmore is located at {{coord|41|25|3|N|75|37|28|W|type:city}} (41.417530, -75.624432).[6] According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough has a total area of {{convert|9|sqmi|km2}}, of which, {{convert|8.9|sqmi|km2}} of it is land and {{convert|0.1|sqmi|km2}} of it (1.11%) is water. Roaring Brook flows from the southeast and turns west through the Nay Aug Gorge in Dunmore to the Lackawanna River in Scranton. Most of the borough is drained by Roaring Brook, except for an area in the west drained by Meadow Brook into the Lackawanna River. The southeast side of the borough is on the slopes of the Moosic Mountains,[7] which the gorge cuts through. The Lackawanna Railroad operated through the Nay Aug Gorge into Scranton from the Poconos and Northern New Jersey. {{Geographic Location (8-way)|Centre = Dunmore |North = Scranton/Throop |Northeast = Throop |East = Throop/Roaring Brook Township |Southeast = Roaring Brook Township |South = Roaring Brook Township |Southwest = Scranton |West = Scranton |Northwest = Scranton |image = }} Demographics{{US Census population|1870= 4311 |1880= 5151 |1890= 8315 |1900= 12583 |1910= 17615 |1920= 20250 |1930= 22627 |1940= 23086 |1950= 20305 |1960= 18917 |1970= 18168 |1980= 16781 |1990= 15403 |2000= 14018 |2010= 14057 |estyear=2017 |estimate=13069 |estref=[8] |footnote=Sources:[9][10][11][12] }} As of the 2010 United States Census, there were 14,057 people, 5,999 households, and 3,388 families residing in the borough.[13] The population density was 1,579.4 people per square mile (610/km²).

EconomyGertrude Hawk Chocolates, founded in 1936, is based in Dunmore.[14] The Keystone Industrial Park is also located in Dunmore.[2]Environmental issuesKeystone Sanitary Landfill, the largest landfill in the state of Pennsylvania has been located in Dunmore since 1973,[15] about 450 feet from the Dunmore Reservoir #1, a backup drinking water supply. In 1987, it extended to Throop, Pennsylvania.[16] The landfill was built over mines known for ground subsidence. As of 2015 the landfill accepts over 7,200 tons of trash per day.[17] More than a third of its in-state waste since 2009 is from fracking drill cuttings, drilling mud and fluids. Cuttings are mixed with small amounts of naturally occurring radioactive elements, particularly radium-226.[18] The landfill has been leaking into ground water per its Phase 3 permit application. Run-off is discharged into Eddy’s Creek and the Lackawanna River. In November 2014, the Dunmore borough council approved a $15.63 million agreement for Keystone as a basis for an extension, and a definition of the landfill as a “pre-existing landfill” to ensure Keystone a more favorable interpretation of the borough’s zoning ordinance against public opinion.[19] On Sept. 20, 2018, Pennsylvania DEP issued a Notice of Violation to Keystone for storing leachate in excess of 25% of its total leachate storage capacity on a regular basis since October 2016.[20] InfrastructureEducationPublic schoolsDunmore has three public schools: Dunmore Elementary Center, Dunmore Middle School and Dunmore High School.[21] Parochial schoolsDunmore has two Roman Catholic schools, under the administration of the Diocese of Scranton: Saint Mary's of Mount Carmel Elementary School (PK-8)[22] and Holy Cross High School.
