The Pennsylvania Anthracite Region is a region of northeastern Pennsylvania that was once the center of the anthracite coal mining industry in the United States. The region's economy, which had been based on the mining of anthracite coal, declined sharply in the early 20th century. This led to widespread unemployment and poverty, and many people left the region in search of work. The region's population also declined, and many towns and cities became ghost towns.
