dale. The town was named for Philip Hone,
one of the first mayors of New York City. He
was employed by the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
pany at Waymart at the time. Mr. Hone was a practl-

in search of health, pleasure or profit, come to Hones
dale! Wayne county possesses more lakes than any ot'ncr
county in the State. These numerous bodies of water
are for the most part small, but of surpassing loveli
ness. In addition to this, Wayne county Itself Is a
beautiful and picturesque section, and It Is strange that
It Is so little known to the people of the whole State.
Tho prevailing Impression is that Wayne county is a
wild and thickly wooded tract of rough, stony, moun
tainous country, alivo with rattlesnakes, and inhabited
only by rough backwoodsmen. Nothing can be further
from the truth. It Is a splendidly cultivated section of
the State, with multitudes of well tilled farms and sub
stantial farm houses and outbuildings. The great
forests of tho county have long since disappeared, and
good roads aro found in evory direction. The county Is
mountainous. There are 70 lakes of more than twenty
acres, besides a large number of others 'from two to
five and even ten ncres, 160 In all, and taken as a
whole It Is doubtful whether any Stato can present a
more beautiful and varied assortment. They are pretty
well scattered throughout the county. Nearly evory
t'wnshlp contains one or more, although Preston has
by far the greater number. Here are grouped thirty
four pretty natural lakes, eighteen of which are of fair
size. Report of Pennsylvania Fish Commissioners, 1896.
Honesdale Is thoroughly up-to-date, and If there Is
one quality that stands prominently it Is the affection
ate regard with which our people view the historic past
of the borough, and the spirit of contentment and love
for homo that Is characteristic of our citizens.
The town enjoys one distinction which grows in Im
portance and Interest as time passes, and of which It
can never be deprived. Tho first locomotive to turn a
wheel on a railroad In America made Its trial trip at
Honesdale, on tho 8th of August, 1829, with Horatio
Allen as engineer. The engine was built at Stour
bridge, England, and -was named "The Stourbridge
Lion." It was ordered by the Delaware and Hudson
Canal company, and Imported by that corporation for
use on their railroad between Honesdale nd Carbon
dalo. Fow towns In the State have more pleasant sur
roundings than those of Honesdale, tho hills and moun
tains adjacent giving the scene a beautiful relief.
