History
The land that would become Kulpmont was originally part of expansive tracts held by major mining interests within the Western Middle Anthracite Field. Unlike many neighboring patch towns, which were built and strictly governed by a single coal company, Kulpmont developed as an open residential hub. This development was spearheaded by Monroe Henry Kulp, a prominent local businessman and U.S. Congressman who acquired the land to create a community for miners working at nearby facilities including the Scott Colliery and Sayre Colliery.
