Known as Clarendon Station on the 1878 map. In the early days, Old Carlendon and North Clarendon were two seperate towns, but the oil boom in the area cause them to grow into each other with the just the name Clarendon sticking to the merger. The first station here was probably built when the railroad was new to the area in the mid-1860s.
North Clarendon The second station here was built in 1880-1881 (PRR valuation records say 1878), but the frame of the building became unstable and virtually collapsed, so construction had to begin again (Kane Weekly Blade, April 28, 1881). This station was damaged in a fire that burned much of the town - in all, 106 buildings were destroyed. Although the station did catch fire, it was the only structure of consequence to be saved (Wilkes-Barre Record, July 8, 1887). It was on the north side of Railroad Avenue at GPS: 41.778864, -79.095082. In 1926 a new foundation was laid about 25 feet to the north and the depot was moved to this new foundation so that passenger trains could stop at the depot without blocking the intersection (Warren Tribune, Oct. 21, 1926).
