{{main|Calumet, Pennsylvania}}
Calumet was founded by the Calumet Coke Company in 1888 as a housing site for its workers.<ref name="calumet-oldminer">{{cite web |url=http://patheoldminer.rootsweb.ancestry.com/calumet.html |title=Calumet Mine & Coke Works |accessdate=2008-04-30 |last=Washlaski |first=Raymond A. |author2=Ryan P.

The workers were employed in a coal mine and also tended ovens that produced [[coke (fuel)]]. In 1894, Calumet was the site of a bitter coal miners’ strike against the H. C. Frick Coke Company, which at that time was part-owner of Calumet Coke Company.<ref name="calumet-oldminer"/>

The coke works closed in the 1920s, and the mine closed in the early 1930s during the [[Great Depression]], causing enormous hardship for the community's workers.<ref name="calumet-oldminer"/>
