1990s - present
On March 15, 1993, two Pittston firefighters (John Lombardo and Len Insalaco) were killed while fighting a blaze on the city's main street. A monument was built in the downtown and the nearby Water Street Bridge was renamed to commemorate their sacrifice during that tragic March day. For many decades, Roman Catholic churches made up the skyline of Pittston City. From 2004 - 2008, the Diocese of Scranton shut down most of the churches and private schools in Pittston, like Saint John the Baptist Elementary School (in 2004) and Seton Catholic High School (in 2007).

City's Boom and Bust
Pittston became an active railroad center in response to its mining and industrial activity. The Lehigh Valley Railroad maintained a beautiful station in downtown Pittston, near the foot of the Water Street Bridge. Sadly, the station did not survive the urban renewal of the 1960s; it was demolished in 1964. Pittston also had a station on the historic Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Railroad's, commonly known as the Laurel Line, an electric interurban streetcar line. Besides mining anthracite coal, other manufacturers included: metals, plastics, paper products, apparel, electrical equipment and beverages. Some of the city's early industries included, the Pittston Stove Company (established in 1864) which manufactured coal and wood burning stoves for heat and cooking. Another business was the Pittston Brewing Company, brewers of Glennon's Beer, maintained operations in Pittston from 1873 until 1948. Main Street was the site of an active downtown into the 1970s, with many clothing stores, JC Penney's, Kresge's, F. W. Woolworth Company, drug stores, restaurants, theaters and banks. Many historic commercial structures were destroyed in the urban renewal efforts of the 1960s.
Coal mining
With the opening of a canal in the 1830s, Pittston became an important link in the coal industry. Money made through the mining and transportation of coal led some of the leading merchants to petition its separation from Pittston Township. The anthracite and railroad industry attracted thousands of immigrants, making Pittston a true melting pot with once-distinct ethnic and class neighborhoods. Even though coal mining remained the prominent industry in Pittston for many decades, disasters did strike on more than one occasion. The first major tragedy occurred in the Newton Coal Company's Twin Shaft Mine near the city's junction on June 28, 1896, when a massive cave-in killed 58 miners. [1] Anthracite coal mining remained in Pittston until January 22, 1959, when the Knox Mine Disaster in nearby Port Griffith in Jenkins Township ended the industry completely. There, the ice-laden Susquehanna River broke through the roof of the River Slope Mine of the Knox Coal Company, allowing billions of gallons of river water to flood the interconnected mines. Seventy-four miners were trapped; sixty-two miners escaped; twelve miners died and their bodies were never recovered. The heroic efforts of one miner, Amedeo Pancotti of Pittston, led thirty-two miners to safety. For his efforts, Amedeo Pancotti was awarded the Carnegie Medal for heroism from the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission.

Description
Pittston is a city in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, United States, between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. It gained prominence in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as an active anthracite coal mining city, drawing a large portion of its labor force from European immigrants. The population was 8,104 at the 2000 census.
Establishment
Pittston lies in the Wyoming Valley on the east side of the Susquehanna River, and on the south side of the Lackawanna River. It is approximately midway between Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. Named after the famous British statesman William Pitt the Elder, the city was settled around 1770 by the Susquehanna Company of Connecticut. It was originally called "Pittstown". During the Revolutionary War, Connecticut Continentals (Patriots), led by Captain Jeremiah Blancharo and Lieutenant Timothy Keyes, held and maintained a fort in Pittston. On July 4, 1778, a group of British soldiers took over the fortress and some of it was destroyed. Two years later, the Continentals stormed the fortification and recaptured it. From then on it was under Patriot control until the end of the war in 1783, with the signing of the Treaty of Paris. Today a marker stands at the site where the fort once stood. Pittston broke away from Pittston Township and officially became a borough in 1856. It was later chartered as a city on December 10, 1894. Throughout the late 1890s, the city's borders extended from Scranton to Wilkes-Barre, however, due to financial and civil differences, the city would soon be divided into the many townships and boroughs that exist throughout the central Wyoming Valley today.
