Coal Towns
Towns, Villages, Patches in the Coal Region

Kahinoor Junction : somewhere in the Shenandoah zip code (17976). Anyone know where this patch is (or was) ?

Kaiser : another name for Marion Heights. For some reason, the US Post Office used the name "Kaiser" for the town, though everyone else used "Marion Heights". Mail to Marion Heights was addressed to Kaiser, PA. Sometime in the 1960's or 1970's, the name Kaiser was dropped and the post office started using Marion Heights.

Kaska : a couple miles north of New Philadelphia. Head toward Middleport, hang a left just before the Getty station, and go up the road a few miles.

Keffers : near Tower City, on Rte 209.

Kehley Run Junction: on the northeast side of Shenandoah. Site of the famous Kehley Run Minefire, which burned for decades before finally being dug out in the early 1970's.

Kelayres : near McAdoo

Kulpmont : (many times pronounced "Cup-mont") between Mt. Carmel and Shamokin.
