Emergency Biohazard Cleanup Services in Warrior Run, PA

Warrior Run is a small borough in Luzerne County, just southeast of the city of Nanticoke in the Wyoming Valley.

Warrior Run takes its name from the Warrior's Path, a Native American trail whose spring was used in 1778 by more than 100 men, women, and children fleeing after the Battle of Wyoming during the Revolutionary War.

The first settlers at Warrior Run were Connecticut Yankees Elisha and Anna Blackman, who cleared trees and built a log cabin there in 1791.

Warrior Run grew up as an anthracite mining village on land of the Warrior Run Mining Company, which built a coal breaker at the foot of Little Mountain in the 1860s.

The Borough of Warrior Run was incorporated on January 25, 1895, carved out of the Sugar Notch area of Hanover Township, and Charles Williams was elected its first burgess.

At its coal-era peak, the Warrior Run area's population topped 3,000, most of them miners and boarders working the local collieries.

Warrior Run had a population of 528 at the 2020 census, and the 2000 census counted 624 people in 257 households.

The borough covers about 0.73 square miles, with homes and businesses in its northern and western sections and predominantly woodland in the south and east.
