Starlight, Pennsylvania

Starlight is a village that is located in Buckingham Township, Wayne County, Pennsylvania, United States.

Crosstown Highway, which is entirely concurrent with Pennsylvania Route 370 (PA-370), is generally thought to be the southern edge of the village.

This village was once a depot of the Scranton Division of the New York, Ontario & Western (O&W) Railway, but is largely known today for being home to the Inn at Starlight Lake & Restaurant,[4] which has been open since 1909.

[5] A Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) sign on Crosstown Highway identifies the community as the "Village of Starlight."

In Pennsylvania, a village is an unincorporated community within a township, but PennDOT identifies most villages with roadside signs, a fact that might reasonably lead those unfamiliar with this practice to believe that these communities are incorporated municipalities administered separately from the townships in which they are located.

Four signs on a green, metal pole against a background of greenery. The first, which is white with a blue border and lettering, reads, "VILLAGE OF/STARLIGHT." The second and third, which are both green with a white border and lettering, read, "BUCKINGHAM/TOWNSHIP," and "PERMITS/REQUIRED," respectively. The fourth, which is white with no border and black lettering, reads, "SR 370/220."
