East Stroudsburg Borough is a vibrant, historically rooted municipality in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, nestled in the Pocono Mountains and directly adjacent to its sister borough, Stroudsburg. Though often paired with Stroudsburg in regional identity, East Stroudsburg has its own distinct character—shaped by education, transportation, and a rich colonial past.
East Stroudsburg is often seen as the educational and cultural anchor of Monroe County. Its blend of historic charm, university life, and proximity to outdoor recreation makes it a dynamic hub for both residents and visitors. The borough’s evolution—from colonial outpost to railroad town to college borough—reflects the layered history of the Pocono region.
The Borough of East Stroudsburg enacted a short term rental ordinance in 2021. The ordinance requires licensing and a list of requirements including the use of a private trash hauler. Zoning regulations limit the licenses to Commercial and Industrial areas, properties in residential areas will need a variance. Details can be found in the East Stroudsburg STR Ordinance.
