Waverly is a small rural town in Lackawanna County in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. It was founded in the late 1700s. Waverly used to be a separate borough within Lackawanna County, but gave up its charter in 1920, and is now a part of Abington Township. Many cultural events for the community take place at The Waverly Community House, known as "The Comm." Margaretta E. Belin had The Waverly Community House built as a memorial to her husband, Henry Belin, Jr., after his death in 1917. On June 4, 1920, the building and a portion of the land were deeded to Abington Township for the benefit of “any and all residents of the Township”
