Tannersville is a village in Pocono Township, Pennsylvania. It is the site of the Camelback Mountain Resort, a popular ski and waterpark resort in The Poconos.
As of 2000, the population of Tannersville was 2,784. The community is served by the 629 exchange in area code 570.
The Village of Tannersville, where the local government buildings are located, was settled in approximately by John Larner and his family, originally under the name Pocono Point.[1]
Many native American trails located here were widened for stagecoach use, and later evolved into highways. Two of the most famous of these are the Lackawanna Trail, which is now Rt. 611, and runs through Tannersville and Sullivan's Trail.
Learned's Tavern, which most recently operated as The 1740 Alpine Inn but burned down in 2000, was established along the Lackawanna Trail. In 1779, it was the last building on the frontier. On June 18, 1779, General John Sullivan and his soldiers camped here. They then cut a road through the wilderness, which ultimately became present-day Sullivan's Trail.
Tannersville is currently home to the Pocono Premium Outlets.
