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.
