Hazleton is located in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The coal found in Hazleton helped to shape the United States because coal was shipped by railroad to Bethlehem Steel Corporation to power the massive blast furnaces. Bethlehem Steel was the second largest steel manufacturer in American history. Hazleton is nicknamed "The Mountain City" because of its elevation of 1700 feet above sea level, much higher than other cities in the area. The campus of Penn State Hazleton is also in Hazleton. Hazleton's economy is now based largely on manufacturing and shipping.
