WELCOME TO RANSOM

We are a rural, family-friendly community located in Lackawanna County.

Nestled just minutes from the city of Scranton, Ransom Township offers the perfect blend – a peaceful rustic setting without the drawbacks of big-city taxes, crowded classrooms, and heavy traffic. Here, you truly get the best of both worlds. Experience the tranquility of country living and the conveniences afforded by our neighboring cities and towns.

Families will appreciate the amenities offered to residents of the Abingtons. Our school district has long been known for offering an excellent education. Ransom Township is a place where you can comfortably raise your family with police protection provided by the Taylor Borough Police Department and fire and E.M.S. services from the top-notch Newton-Ransom Volunteer Fire Department.

So come to Ransom.  You’ll be glad you did.
