In June 1748, eighty Nanticoke Indians grounded their canoes in a wilderness along the Susquehanna River in the area that would later be named Nanticoke.

Those times have been preserved in pictorial form and evoke fond memories of Nanticoke.…mehr

Autorenporträt
Chester J. Zaremba, vice president and secretary/treasurer of the Nanticoke Historical Society, became aware that in his hometown of Nanticoke there was no central repository for historical information about the city. He and several others proceeded to establish the Nanticoke Historical Society in 1995. The photographs in Nanticoke all come from the holdings of the Nanticoke Historical Society and represent only a portion of the history that has been preserved.
