First Coal Discovery.
The presence of coal in the
Richmond Basin of Virginia was
known as far hack as 1700 and
mines were opened and worked al
as early a dale as 1750. In 1789
shipments were made In some of
the northern stales. In 1822, ac
cording lo R. G. Taylor, in his
■‘Statistics of Goal,” the produc
tion amounted to 54.000 short
tons. For nearly a century tW
Richmond Basin, maintained
some prominence as a coal pro
ducer, but in 1882, when I he Po
cahontas district was opened, fol
lowed shortly afterward by the
development, of the New River
field in West iVrginia, the mines
in lht> Richmond Basin were put
at a disadvantage and operations
were for many years practically
suspended.
During the last four years,
however, new life has been in
troduced into the Richmond Ba
sin areas by the re-opening of
the old Dayton mines in Henrico"
county. For many years after the
opening of the southwestern Vir
ginia and the southern West Vir
ginia coals the mines of the
Richmond Basin lay idle or were
worked only for a restricted lo
cal market. The Richmond Basin
is the only area producing free
burning coal which lies immedi
ately adjacent to the Atlantic
seaboard.
