Why this spot
1912-1950 planned coal company town
A carefully planned coal town founded in 1912 in Spring Canyon, with a company store, hospital, recreation hall and school and about 550 people at its peak. A 1930 explosion killed 20 miners; the mine closed in 1950 and the last families left in the 1970s.View source →
