Pittston is famous for a couple of things -- coal mining and... tomatoes! Yep, the city was an important coal mining center in the late-19th and 20th century and, while that particular industry has faded, the town now moved on to become the self-proclaimed Tomato Capital of the World, with the Pittston Tomato Festival held each year in the downtown area.
Aside from its mining links and current love of tomatoes, what more can you say about Pittston? Well, for a start, it's located in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and is home to about 7,739 people. It sits right on the Susquehanna River, which runs through it, and is about 10 miles southwest of Scranton and about 100 miles northwest of New York as the crow flies. So, probably a little too far for a daily commute! View Pittston City Guide
