The North Branch Division of the Pennsylvania Canal was a historic waterway that ran 169 miles along the North Branch Susquehanna River between southern New York and north-central Pennsylvania in the United States. At its southern end, the canal connected with the West Branch Canal and the Susquehanna Division Canal at Northumberland, while on the north it connected with the Junction Canal and the New York canal system. Built between 1828 and 1856, the North Branch Canal was part of a large transportation network that included Pennsylvania's Main Line of Public Works.
The first segment of 55 miles was begun in 1828 and completed in 1831 to Nanticoke Falls. In 1834, a project called the Wyoming Extension increased the canal's length by 17 miles past Wilkes-Barre to Pittston. A final extension of 97 miles from Pittston to the New York state line was started in 1836 and finished in 1856.
