Summit Hill is a borough in Carbon County, Pennsylvania, United States.

[4] News of the find led to the founding of the Lehigh Coal Mining Company, which in 1792 began exploring the area in earnest and buying up promising land.

Coal was found in 1794 by Phillip Ginter[6] along the northeast-to-southwest-running ridgeline of Pisgah Mountain lying several hundred feet below the ridge on the north slope in an area that became the boroughs of Summit Hill and Lansford.

Summit Hill High School was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.

31.4% of all households were made up of individuals, and 18.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

Summit Hill is part of the Panther Valley School District, along with the neighboring towns of Lansford, Nesquehoning and Coaldale (Coaldale is located in Schuylkill County).
