Nemacolin, Pennsylvania
Nemacolin is a census-designated place (CDP) in Greene County, Pennsylvania, United States founded as a company town〔 name="CO-TWN"/> around the workings of a Youngstown Sheet and Tube company owned and operated coal mine in 1917. The name reflects a noted Amerindian ally Chief Nemacolin, who showed the Virginia and Pennsylvania settlers how to cross the successive Allegheny barrier ridges via the Cumberland Narrows and the Nemacolin Trail which Braddock's Expedition widened into a wagon road through the barrier range. The population was 937 at the 2010 census.
==History in brief==
The land upriver from Brownsville along the eastern border of Greene County was acquired by Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co.〔 (YS&T) which planned, zoned, populated, and built the community complete with a Movie theater, tennis courts, amusement hall (in the fashion of the times in blue collar company towns, part pool hall, part Beer garden), and swimming pool〔 near Carmichaels Borough. At one time, Youngstown Sheet and Tube was the largest steel company in the nation.〔 name="YS&T">Wikipedia article: Youngstown Sheet and Tube〕 Establishing the town well after the United Mine Workers flexed their muscles in the strikes of the 1890s–1900s and after its riot troubles in Youngstown in 1916,〔 it is also likely the company had a hand in establishing the local school and one or more churches and likely issued invitations and recruited the medical practitioners operating the various health clinics〔The pleasant amenities might also have been a result of the 1916 riots the company experienced in its East Youngstown plant.〕
The mine, established outside the town, was one of many large mines atop the'' 'Pittsburgh Coal Seam' ''on the west bank of the Monogahela〔 name="CO-TWN"/> was operated as a subsidiary under the name as the Buckeye Coal Company and grew and benefited as being directly on the railroad route running upriver to West Virginia〔 name="CO-TWN"/> and was able to load both river coal barges and freight trains with its output. It is thought by some to have been the largest coal mine in the United States in 1919, and was rated at being the second most productive in Greene County in the 1940s〔 name="CO-TWN"/> war years. The mine operated nearly 70 years, shutting down production in 1986, and was sealed (safed) 2–3 years〔 later.
