Mayfield Borough

Mayfield Borough Hall is located at 739 Penn Avenue, Mayfield PA 18433; phone: 570-876-4391.

Mayfield Borough was incorporated in 1891 from Carbondale Township and named for Captain William May in recognition for the part he played in the village's development when he was manager of the Hillside Coal and Iron Company. The area was originally called Glenwood, then for a time was named Mayville until postal authorities suggested it be changed to Mayfield. [1]
