Why this spot
1885-1940 farming and coal settlement
Settled in 1885 as Oak Springs Bench, a high farm community that turned to small-scale coal mining and was platted and incorporated as Coal City in 1921, with stores, a bakery and about 70 people at its peak. Decline began in 1935 and it was uninhabited by 1940.View source →
