'''Scranton''' is a city in [[Pennsylvania]]. It was once a major center of the [[anthracite]] [[mining]] and [[textile]] industries and was the first U.S. city with an electrified [[streetcar]] system. The nickname is "The Electric City". Scranton's population peaked in the 1930 [[census]] and has been falling since. Anthracite mining ceased in the city after the 1959 Knox Mine Disaster.
