The introductory statement for Stroudsburg, PA, above the Geography section contains an error. It presently reads: --Stroudsburg is a borough located in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, 53 miles (85 km) southeast of Scranton, on the Analomink River. It is five miles (8 km) from the famous Delaware Water Gap. In 1900, 3,450 people inhabited Stroudsburg; in 1910, 4,379; and in 1940, 6,186 people lived here. As of the 2000 census, the borough had a total population of 5,756. It is the county seat of Monroe CountyGR6.--

Analomink River is incorrect. The correct information is: it is located at the confluence of the Brodhead and Pocono creeks.

Commuters

The introductory paragraph states that 84% of residents commute to work daily. Firstly, the statement is not cited. Secondly, it's a pretty unremarkable statistic as anyone who is employed (save those that work from their homes) commutes to work. I suspect that the person who added the sentence meant to comment on the fact that many of the borough's residents have a long commute to work (many residents work in NYC and northern NJ). However, since I'm not a mind-reader and the statement is not cited, I'm removing it. 68.238.184.72 (talk) 20:13, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

==Stroudsburg not in Poconos

Find a PA contour map on line, which will show elevations between 1200 and 3200 ft above sea level. Those areas might be considered plausible Pocono region. They exclude Stroudsburg. 17:24, 23 March 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.150.193.141 (talk)
