The township was formed in 1774 when it stretched from the Susquehanna River to the Lehigh River and included present day Wilkes-Barre City, Laurel Run Borough, Bear Creek Twp. and Buck Twp. In 1849, Moses Tammany departed from Ireland and upon his arrival in our area, he acquired most of the land that is now Wilkes-Barre Twp. for $12,000.
