The city is located in Lackawanna County and is fifteen miles away from Northeastern Pennsylvania. Maurice Wurts and William Wurts developed the area that became the city. They were the founders of the Hudson and Delaware Canal Company during the introduction of the anthracite coal mining industry, and this was a prominent terminal of the railroad. The city was the site of the first anthracite coal mine in the United States and the mine fire that burned in 1946.

The city battled with the decline of the once-prominent coal mining industry that affected many other cities and towns. This allowed the area to be a haven for immigrants seeking work. Immigrants from England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, and all across Europe all came to the city to work in the railroading and anthracite industries. The National Register of Historic Places has the Carbondale Courthouse and City Hall, and the Hudson and Delaware Canal Gravity Railroad on its list. The local museum records and Carbondale Historical Society maintains its history.
