Timothy Dexter was an American businessman who would make seemingly stupid business ventures. Once, he shipped coal to the coal mining town of Newcastle. It was considered stupid to sell coal there since there was always a surplus there, but the miners had gone on strike and he sold all of his coal.

In 1903, the town of Van Meter, Iowa was terrorized by a flying creature that had batlike wings and fired beams of light from its forehead. Terrified, the townspeople fought back, eventually forcing the creature into an abandoned coal mine where it was never seen again. You should look into it :)

Kempton, WV & MD: this coal mining community was a 'company town'. The company store was located a few feet inside West Virginia so that it could continue to accept script as payment, rather than cash. Only a few houses remain today. May 1939, by John Vachon [album]

Just a little drive through the town of Loyall in Harlan County, Ky. Once a bustling community where the L&N Railroad built a train yard for transporting all the Harlan county coal out into the world.

Centralia is a city in PA that's been on fire for 60 years. This is due to the massive amount of burning coal under the ground, which in turn led to the town being evacuated. As coal is slow burning, the fires can last a very long time. In NSW, Australia, a coal fire is estimated to be 6000 yrs old.
