  • Quicktown, Pennsylvania is a scenic rural community in Northeastern Pennsylvania approximately 17 miles (27 km) east of Scranton, more specifically in the eastern portion of Madison Township. (known to the locals as Madisonville). Madison Twp (Madisonville) formed on Aug. 7, 1849 from parts of Covington and Jefferson Townships and is named after President James Madison. Located on most printed maps about 1.2 miles (1.9 km) Northeast of Madisonville corners, Quicktown is centered at Quicktown Corners, the intersection of Quicktown Road and Rt. 690 in Madison Township. This intersection was previously known as Carey's Corners after the Carey family that lived near the intersection. The Carey family no longer resides in the area, but was still present up until at least 1930 according to that census. Quicktown is named after the Quick family that lived in the area, but there are no records of Quicks that actually resided in Madison township in the census records other than Matilda Quick, a school teacher boarding with George Weldy in 1880. Rather the records show that the family and descendants of Daniel Thomas Quick (1824–1911) and Almira J Pedrick Quick living just across the county line in Hollisterville, part of Salem Township, Wayne County. Daniel came from Pike County near Milford and first appeared in Salem in the 1860 census. Daniel's son used the address of Hollisterville on his World War I draft registration. (en)
