Mahanoy City (pronounced MAHA-noy, also MA-noy locally) is a borough located 38 miles (61 km) southwest of Wilkes-Barre and 13 miles southwest of Hazleton, in northern Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is part of the Coal Region of Pennsylvania and is located entirely within, but is not part of, Mahanoy Township.
