The popularity of the Pocono Mountains as a summer retreat began at the dawn of the 20th century when Philadelphia Quakers started the resorts of Buck Hill Falls and Pocono Manor, and later in the 1920s,Skytop.
Poconos is a well-known outdoor recreation destination for visitors around the northeast, especially from the New York, Philadelphia and New Jersey Areas.
Although a fabulous recreational area, the Poconos have more recently been an attractive place for Philadelphians and New Yorkers as well as North Jerseyans to call HOME as many are willing to make the daily commute to afford their families the Peace and Serenity of a Country Lifestyle.
