City insight: Emporium
Emporium is a borough and the county seat of Cameron County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. In the early twentieth century it was home to large power plants and manufacturers of radio tubes, incandescent lamps, paving brick, flour, iron, lumber and sole leather, and its population was 1,961 at the 2020 census. Summers are warm and humid and winters are cold with plenty of snow, so late spring and early autumn are generally the best seasons for running or racing here.
