Exeter gets its name from across the pond: its namesake was an ancient city in England.
Consisting of five square miles, Exeter is a borough in Eastern Pennsylvania. Positioned in Luzerne County, it's part of the Greater Pittston-Wilkes Barre land area and located right next to the Susquehanna River. Founded back in 1884, Exeter was built on particularly fertile Susquehannock Amerindian land. It was the site of not only a good deal of farming, but also a significant lumber and coal mining industry. Today's Exeter is less about farming, and is mostly made up of residential properties with all the amenities, including shopping, restaurants, parks, and varied entertainment options. Its population as of the 2010 census was 5,652 people. View Exeter City Guide
