The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The first settlers of Warrior Run were Connecticut natives Elisha and Anna Blackman and their young children, Henry and Ebenezer. In 1791, they cleared trees and built a log cabin. For many years after, their land was the only cleared area beyond the Middle Road.
Coal mining was the chief industry in the region. In 1864, the Warrior Run Mining Company was organized; it reopened the old Holland and Hillman mine. The company built a breaker at the foot of the mountain; it opened in 1867.
