Pitman is a small, unincorporated community that is located in Eldred Township, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, United States.
The village center lies on state route 4022 and includes approximately twenty-five residences.
The earliest settlements in the vicinity of Pitman were established circa 1800. The village was originally known as Zimmermanstown.[1]
Pitman is located in the far eastern end of the Mahantongo valley where Mahantango Mountain and Line Mountain meet. The Little Mahantango Creek, a tributary within the Susquehanna River basin, begins in the vicinity of Pitman and flows westward into Mahantango Creek.
Agriculture is the primary industry.
A U.S. Post Office is located in the village. Because the 17964 postal code extends over nearly all of Eldred Township, area residents refer to the entire township as Pitman.
