The zip code 16920 is one of the flags in Elkland borough which used to be a township back in the early years of the 19th century, becoming a borough right before the death of Baker Pierce who was one of the first settlers and pioneers in this land. Around the 1950s the Ekland Tannery was established in the hands of J. Hancock who later on passed along this property to a company. Today, this community is home of more than 1750 people and has almost 2.5 square miles of territory, kindly irrigated by the Cowasnesque River. The cities of Tuscarora and Woodhull are the nearest communities in a distance of 7.5 miles radius.
