Welcome to Damascus Township!

 We are a zoned community located in Wayne County, northeast Pennsylvania, only a 2 hour drive from the New York City area, located between New York’s Catskills and the Poconos in Pennsylvania. The Township provides services and resources for both residents and visitors. This is a unique community that offers an attractive rural setting within a few minutes of business, shopping and cultural areas, plus 29 miles of shoreline along the Delaware River.

As our community grows, there is more than adequate space, and ample opportunities for business growth. Our Planning Commission helps to maintain orderly development in our Township to preserve the heritage, safety, and beauty of our community. Communities within our Township include Damascus, West Damascus, Abrahamsville, Fallsdale, Hilltown, Duck Harbor, Tyler Hill, Milanville, Galilee, Lookout, Skinners Falls, Rock Run, Atco, Boyds Mill, Calkins, Conklin Hill, and Girdland. Only a short drive from Honesdale, the Wayne County seat, we benefit from an abundance of wildlife, hunting and fishing, and friendly neighbors.
