Several years ago (around 2002-2003) a movement was started to make Cameron County (Emporium) the geocaching capital of the world. Articles appeared in Go Magazine and in the local media. Caches grew and grew in this region of less than 5,000 people. Recently a visitor was directed to Emporium, PA by a business owner in a small town in Canada known as the Geocaching Capital of Canada. The visitor was told Emporium is indeed the geocaching capital of the world. Since noone has claimed the title and marketed it, and others believe Emporium is.....the county is claiming the title and promoting events and stores which will sell geocaching items. Research on the internet including comments made on this posting at this site clearly shows that noone has claimed the title, leaving it to Emporium. The county is part of the geocache trail which runs through northwestern Pennsylvania. At a recent meeting counties were comparing the results of the trail. Most had visitors from Maryland and New York. In Cameron County visitors from Colorado, the state of Washington and California had sought us out because they had heard we were the capital of the world. So join the movement come see the heart of the PA Wilds and enjoy geocaching!
