Sending Flowers to Nanticoke, PA
The city of Nanticoke is located in Luzerne County. The city is the largest city in Luzerne County, and it occupies more than 3.5 square miles of land. The city is divided into several sections. The city was once a coal mining community, and today it is also the main campus of Luzerne County Community College, with an estimated land area of more than 167-acres. The name of the city Nanticoke was gotten from Nentego, which means Tidewater people, an Algonquian-speaking Native American tribe who relocated to the Wyoming Valley when their Chesapeake Bay homeland was destroyed because of hunting by European settlers. The Nanticoke Creek was named after the tribe in the area but was previously known as Muddy Run. The city's current name began appearing on maps as early as 1776. The area had some different names before, such as Lee's Creek, Robbins Creek, Rummage Creek, Bobbs Creek, Millers Creek, and Warriors Run Creek.
The construction of a forge started in Nanticoke Creek in 1778 by John Alden and Mason F. Alden. That same year, a log gristmill was constructed near Mr. Chapman's creek and was also heavily guarded in 1780. The community was created from Newport Township and Hanover Township. The village was incorporated in 1830, and Pennsylvania Legislature later chartered the area as a borough in 1874. The community witnessed its greatest growth rate in 1917 and 1925, which led to its classification as a third-class city. S. H Keene & Co.started as a small store in the city and later grew to become a big national chain. The city got popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a coal mining community that drew a large portion of its workforce from European immigrants. At the city's population growth peak, it had more than 27,000 residents. Coal mining in the region later collapsed. The city witnessed a shrinking population and urban decay. The subsequent collapse of the mining industry led to a scarred landscape, buildings, abandoned mines, and lots of population in Nanticoke Creek due to mine closings.

This was my first order with Avas Flowers and it went great! I ordered the aDOGable Bouquet and though I didn't get to see how well they did in person, I did get to see a picture just after it was delivered and it was wonderful! And the person I sent it to loved it! So, everybody was happy! :D I will definitely use Avas Flowers again in the future..
