Archbald is a borough in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, United States.

Before being renamed in Archbald's honor, the name of the settlement was White Oak Run.

Most of the original settlers were Irish Catholics, fleeing the Great Famine.

As of the 2010 United States Census[13] there were 7,011 people, 2,802 households, and 1,948 families in the borough.

The park is named for Archbald Pothole, a geologic feature that formed during the Wisconsin Glacial Period, around 15,000 years ago.

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission classified sections of the river that runs through Archbald as Class A Wild Trout Waters, meaning the river supports and sustains an abundant amount of wild brown trout for anglers to catch.
