Honesdale is a borough in and the county seat of Wayne County, Pennsylvania.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 The borough's population was 4,480 at the time of the 2010 United States Census.〔
Honesdale is located northeast of Scranton in a rural area that provides many recreational opportunities, such as boating, fishing, hiking, hunting, skiing, biking, skateboarding, and rafting. Located in a coal mining region, during the nineteenth century it was the starting point of the Delaware and Hudson Canal, which provided for transport of coal to Kingston, New York, and then down the Hudson River to New York City. In the 19th century the expansion of railroads eventually superseded regular use of the canal.
==History==
Honesdale was named for Philip Hone, former Mayor of New York and president of Honesdale's Delaware and Hudson (D & H) Canal Company. Honesdale, originally called "Dyberry Forks," was laid out as a village in 1826 when the D & H Canal was created.〔 It was incorporated as a borough on January 28, 1831.〔
The Honesdale Residential Historic District and the D & H Canal are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
