History

Developing coal mines in the nearby region created a steep increase in population and a demand for building lots. Freeland, originally called Birbeckville after founder Joseph Birkbeck, then South Heberton, is a borough in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania County, Pennsylvania, 18 miles (29 km) south of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and 10 miles northeast of Hazleton, Pennsylvania in an agricultural region. Between 1845 and 1846, Birkbeck cut the road now known as Buck Mountain Road through the woods from South Heberton through Eckley Miners' Village to Buck Mountain. . Previous to the opening of Howes's tavern, Birkbeck accommodated parties who were prospecting in this region for anthracite deposits in his own home.
