Scranton

Highlight • Settlement

For a long time Scranton was known as the birthplace of U.S. Sentator, Vice-President, and President Joe Biden. Though the city still celebrates of one its own climbing to such lofty heights, it is probably better known today as the setting for "The Office" and the cast of characters working at the fictional paper company Dunder Mifflin.
