History & geography

History

Harrison Church discovered coal near the Hams Fork River in 1868. He gathered financial backing from a group in Minneapolis, and they formed the Hams Fork River Coal Company. In 1898 the river was rerouted and the town moved from on the hill south of town into the valley area. Thomas Sneddon, superintendent of the Diamondville Mine, became the first mayor. The Diamondville Mine closed in August 1930. In December 1905 a coal dust explosion killed eighteen. The miners led strikes in 1898, 1899, and 1903. There was also a statewide strike in 1908. The mine reacted strongly to these attempts at reform. In 1898 the miners and families were evicted. In 1899 non-union men were brought in to operate the mine. This time wives and daughters of the union workers marched on the mines. In response the mine called in over seventy five deputies. In 1903 the United Mine Workers brought in Mother Jones to Wyoming to organize several mines. The superintendent replied that she would be jailed if she attempted to influence the mine in Diamondville.
