Hunlock Creek is an unincorporated community in Hunlock Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, United States.[1] The community is located along the Susquehanna River and U.S. Route 11, 3.2 miles (5.1 km) west of Nanticoke. Hunlock Creek has a post office with ZIP code 18621.[2][3] In 1940, a regional guidebook noted that the town, "its shacks resting in a mountain cleft, is named for the coal-blackened stream that splits it into a number of sections. US 11 parallels the winding river through a long valley that broadens out occasionally to include a cultivated tract on the river flat."[4]
