Wilkes-Barre is a city in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. It was first established in 1769 and formally incorporated in 1806. The discovery of coal reserves in the 19th century attracted thousands of immigrants seeking jobs at the mines, causing the city to expand rapidly. This continued until after World War II when the coal industry collapsed, and the city's economy shrank. Today the city relies on manufacturing and retail to support its economy and has developed a policy of pursuing green alternatives wherever possible, such as the installation of green lampposts. It was home to the Planter's Peanut Company from 1926 to 1961 and was the site of Babe Ruth's record home run, one of the longest in baseball history, at Artillery Park.
