The land upriver from [[Brownsville, Pennsylvania|Brownsville]] along the eastern border of Greene County was acquired by the [[Youngstown Sheet and Tube|Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co.]]<ref name="CO-TWN"/> (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<ref name="CO-TWN"/> near the borough of [[Carmichaels, Pennsylvania|Carmichaels]]. At one time, Youngstown Sheet and Tube was the largest steel company in the nation.<ref name="YS&T">Wikipedia article: Youngstown Sheet and Tube</ref> 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, Ohio|Youngstown]] in 1916,<ref name="YS&T"/> 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 various health clinics.<ref group=notes>The pleasant amenities might also have been a result of the [[Youngstown Sheet and Tube|1916 riots]] the company experienced in its East Youngstown plant.</ref>

The mine<!-- first established in 19xx-->, established{{When|date=February 2011}} outside the town, was one of many large mines atop the Pittsburgh Coal Seam on the west bank of the [[Monongahela River]].<ref name="CO-TWN"/> It was operated as a subsidiary under the [[Buckeye Coal Company]] which grew and benefited as being directly on the railroad route running upriver (south) to [[West Virginia]]<ref 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<ref name="CO-TWN"/> [[World War II|war years]]. The mine after operating for nearly 70 years, shut down production in 1986, and was sealed (safed) 2–3 years<ref name="CO-TWN"/> later.
