Tuscarora is a census-designated place (CDP) that is located in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, United States.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 3.6 square miles (9.3 km2), all land.

A part of the transitory Tuscarora settled at a point approximately two miles west of Tamaqua, Pennsylvania, where they planted apple trees and lived for a number of years.

These mines were worked up to 1875, when they passed to the proprietorship of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company and were eventually abandoned in the late 19th century.
