Lackawannock Township is a township in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 2,469 at the 2020 census,[4] a decline from the figure of 2,662 in 2010.[5] The origin of its name is disputed. One source contends that it was named for the Lackawanna River in eastern Pennsylvania,[6] while another claims that it comes from the French word for "lake" (lac) and the name of a Native American chief (Wannock) who lived in the area.[7]
