Kids Encyclopedia Facts

A list of places in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania can tell you a lot about its geography! This list includes cities, towns, and other recognized areas. It also shares details like which counties each place is in. You can also find the zip code ranges for many of these locations.


Exploring Places in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is a big state. It has many different types of places. These include large cities and small, quiet towns. There are also "unincorporated communities." These are places that don't have their own local government. They are part of a larger township or county.

What is a County?

A county is like a big section of a state. Pennsylvania has 67 counties. Each place on this list belongs to at least one county. Some places might even stretch across two counties! The list tells you the "principal county." This is the main county where the place is located.

Understanding Zip Codes

A zip code is a special number. It helps the post office deliver mail. Every address in the U.S. has one. On this list, you might see a "lower zip code" and an "upper zip code." This means the place uses a range of zip codes. If there's only one number, that's the main zip code for that area. If it's blank, it means the place might not have its own specific zip code listed here.
