Pen Argyl Borough Hall

Pen Argyl Borough, located in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, is a quaint town with a population of approximately 3,600 residents. Established in 1853, the community thrived due to its slate quarrying industry and was officially incorporated in 1882, earning its name from Welsh and Anglo-Saxon origins related to slate rock.

Today, Pen Argyl is renowned for its historic Dentzel carousel at Weona Park, a cherished attraction since 1923 featuring stationary wooden animals. The town retains its rich heritage, including the culinary tradition of pasties, a popular quarry worker's meal, still available at local establishments.
