Editing Crabtree, Pennsylvania (section)

==History==
The town presently called Crabtree was originally named Goff. In the 1880s, Thomas Donohoe's Alexandria Coal Company began mining and coking operations nearby, and built company houses in the town. The Jamison Coal & Coke Company acquired the mine in 1901. Renamed the No. 4 mine, it contained two slope entries, one in [[Salem Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania|Salem Township]] and the other in [[Unity Township, Pennsylvania|Unity Township]]. The Alexandria Branch of the [[Pennsylvania Railroad]] served the No. 4 mine. Jamison Coal & Coke expanded the town of Goff, constructing houses in Unity and Salem townships. The growing town of Goff had its name changed to Crabtree in 1908, and the original village of Crabtree, about 2 miles southeast of Goff, became known as Old Crabtree. The Jamison No. 4 mine at one time employed between 350 and 400 persons. Mines Nos. 4 and 5 continued to operate through the 1930s. Subsequently, a strip mine was developed along Crabtree Creek.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Muller, Edward K. and Carlisle, Ronald C. |title=WESTMORELAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA: An Inventory of Historic Engineering and Industrial Sites |year=1994 |url=https://archive.org/stream/westmorelandcoun00mull/westmorelandcoun00mull_djvu.txt |publisher=National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. |accessdate=30 July 2019}}</ref>
