Nescopeck (Pennsylvanie)
Résumé
Nescopeck is a borough in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 1,480 as of the 2020 census.
Nescopeck was first settled in 1786; it was later incorporated as a borough in 1896. By 1900, over one thousand people resided in the borough. That number would peak at 1,934 in 1960.
The borough derives its name from Nescopeck Creek, a Native American name purported to mean "black, deep, and still water".
On August 5, 2022, a fire at a house killed ten people at a home in Nescopeck, including three children. All of the victims were related to a volunteer firefighter who responded to the blaze. Eight days later on August 13, a man allegedly drove into a crowd at a fundraiser for the victims in nearby Berwick, killing one person and wounding 17 others. The man then drove to a home in Nescopeck, where he was suspected of beating his mother to death.
