East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania
East Stroudsburg is a borough in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, and part of the Pocono Mountains region of the state. Originally known as Dansbury, East Stroudsburg was renamed for geographic reasons when the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroad opened a station in East Stroudsburg. Despite its name being derivative of its bordering borough, Stroudsburg, it has almost twice the population.
East Stroudsburg is the largest municipality in Monroe County and in the East Stroudsburg, PA Metropolitan Statistical Area
As of the 2020 census, the population of East Stroudsburg was 9,847.
East Stroudsburg is located 42 miles (68 km) northeast of Allentown, 102 miles (164 km) north of Philadelphia, and 75 miles (121 km) west of New York City.
In 1737, present-day East Stroudsburg was settled by Daniel Brodhead, a judge from Marbletown, New York, who acquired a 1,000-acre lot of land on and around where Lehigh Valley Hospital–Pocono Hospital currently stands at 206 E. Brown Street in what then was Bucks County and now is Monroe County along the east bank of Brodhead Creek, then known as the Analomink River. The property was known as Dansbury Manor. Moravian missionaries, residing in Bethlehem to the town's south, often traveled through Danbury Manor on the way to Dutchess County, New York and other northern locations.
On December 11, 1755, six months after Brodhead's death, Danbury Manor was attacked by approximately 200 Native Americans. Brodhead's five sons and daughter each took up arms, and fired at the attackers. While each of the Brodhead children were able to save the lives, the Native American attackers destroyed Danbury Manor.
In 1856, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad was built through present-day East Stroudsburg, which greatly increased the town's population and economic vibrancy. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, East Stroudsburg became one of several eastern Pennsylvania centers for manufacturing and commerce.
The East Stroudsburg Armory and East Stroudsburg station, both in East Stroudsburg, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
