Hop Bottom is a borough of Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania with a population of 337 as of the 2010 census. The present name comes from nearby Hop Bottom Creek, named after the hop which covered the only clear meadow in the area. Hop Bottom started as a station on the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroad, in the township of Lathrop. Hop Bottom is solely the creation of the railroad. The location was not as favorable for village purposes as those of some of the other towns in the county until the building of the railroad, in 1850-51. Land was donated for the station purposes and trains occasionally stopped after 1852, but it was not until 1863 that a substantial depot building was provided by the company. There was a small clearing on the east side of the creek, made by Orson Case, the first permanent settler who lived on land that was part of a large tract belonging to Major Post, of Montrose. When the railroad was located, James G. and Marcus Case, sons of Orson, contracted with the Post family for what is now most of the village site, and soon after they sub-divided the lands. Hop Bottom was charted as a Borough in 1881. Residents had petitioned the Court in 1880 to incorporate as the Borough of Foster, but this was denied. The signers reapplied replacing the name Foster with Hop Bottom, and the incorporation was approved. The railroad and Express Office remained as Foster.
