Selling Real Estate in Northumberland County, PA
Northumberland County sits in the heart of the Susquehanna Valley, where the North and West Branches of the Susquehanna River meet at the borough of Northumberland. Sunbury is the county seat. Formed in 1772, the county runs from rolling farm country to mountain ridges in the north and south, with Chillisquaque, Shamokin and Mahanoy creeks draining its valleys.
Farm Country, River Towns & the Coal Region
Farming runs deep here. More than 700 farms cover over 120,000 acres, raising corn, soybeans and hay alongside poultry, dairy and hogs, and the county ranks among Pennsylvania’s top 15 in farm sales. River boroughs like Sunbury, Northumberland, Milton and Watsontown anchor the valley, while Shamokin and Mount Carmel carry the heritage of the anthracite coal region in the south. Weis Markets, Geisinger and Knoebels Amusement Resort are among the county’s best-known employers. Amish and Mennonite families also call the county home, adding Plain buyers looking for farms, shops and land.
