DUNMORE , a borough of Lackawanna county,

 , U.S.A., adjoining Scranton on the N.E. and about 20 M. N.E. of Wilkesbarre. Pop. (189o) 8315; (Igloo) 12,583, of whom 3103 were foreign-born; (1910 census) 17,615. It is served by the

Wyoming
  Valley (electric) railways. Its
chief
  industry is the mining of anthracite coal; the
principal
  establishments are railway repair shops, which in 1905 gave employment to 48.9% of all wage-earners engaged in manufacturing. Among the borough's manufactures are stoves and furnaces, malt liquors and silk. Dunmore is the seat of the state oral school for the deaf. The town was first settled in 1783 and was incorporated in 1862. Its growth was accelerated by the

  Coal Company. Dunmore became a station of the Scranton post office in 1902.
