Sayre is located in a river valley on the Allegheny Plateau, at the confluence of the Susquehanna River and the Chemung River. Part of Bradford County and home to 6,000 Pennsylvanians, Sayre is 156 miles due north of the Harrisburg. Most residents of an apartment or home rental in Sayre make the 4-hour trip into the state’s capital a few times a year to stock up on provisions, although Scranton and New York state’s Binghamton provide closer, yet less-extensive alternatives. Interestingly, because Sayre sits atop the Pennsylvania-New York border, the community is full of Pennsylvanians although ancestries and histories date back to both descents.
Despite Sayre’s distance from major metropolitan areas and relatively small population, it still has its own daily newspaper, the Sayre Morning Times. Residents of a Sayre house or apartment for rent are served by the Sayre Area School District that operates a few schools in town, including a couple elementary schools, a middle school, and high school. Sayre also hosts a number of private and parochial secondary institutions. Elmer Park is geographically located in the center of Sayre, although it also serves as the center of recreational activities and plays an instrumental role in organizing youth leagues as well as running exercise facilities. Additionally, three rail lines meet in Sayre, providing ample opportunities for cheap and quick transportation into the larger cities, as well as New York City, which is served twice-weekly by an eastbound train.
