East Stroudsburg

EAST STROUDSBURG, 33.5 m. (410 alt., 6,099 pop.), a recreational center, derives additional income from the repair shops of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, and small printing, metal, and textile plants. Detached houses on the outskirts are of brick, but the central section has solid rows of clapboard houses. Many residents are employed as bellboys, waiters, and waitresses in summer hotels.

The EAST STROUDSBURG STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, Ridgeway and Prospect Sts., specializes in the training of physical education instructors; its ivy-covered brick buildings flank a circular driveway.
