About Black Diamond, Washington
Black Diamond is a city of 4,697 people in King County, 25 miles southeast of Seattle in the foothills of the Cascades. Its founder was a coal firm from Nortonville, California, the Black Diamond Coal Company, which built it as a company town after sending a man north when coal turned up in Washington Territory. The samples tested well, so the company sent a homesteading crew, laid a narrow gauge railroad southeast from Renton to haul in its machinery, and opened the mines by 1884 with miners and families brought up from California.
Most of those families were Welsh or Italian. Welsh miners, many from old coal mining families, took the skilled, better paid jobs, and the Welsh superintendent, Morgan Morgan, ran the town as well as the mine. The company owned nearly everything: families could buy their houses but rented the ground under them for a dollar a month, and a miner earned $1.50 for a 10-hour day. In 1904 the Pacific Coast Company of New York bought the mine and the town. Oil was pushing coal aside by the 1930s, the company town was broken up by the end of that decade, the mines were closed by 1958, and Black Diamond incorporated on February 19, 1959.
“When newlyweds came to town, a shivaree (a mock serenade made up of people banging on kettles and buckets) would follow them to their new home.”
- The union stumpIn 1907 the miners organized a local of the United Mine Workers of America, numbered 6481. When the company would not let them gather on its property near the depot, the men walked out past the town limits, and one climbed onto a stump to address the crowd. That stump served as the union's meeting place for many years. It was later encased in concrete and still survives.
- The 1921 strikeWartime demand had pushed pay to $8 a day, and when the company tried to cut it back to $7, fired outspoken miners and brought in non-union men, the miners struck in 1921. The company strung barbed wire around the mine and hired 35 guards. It also ended the land leases, so families had to sell or move their homes. The mine stayed non-union for ten years, and many strikers never mined again.
- MorganvilleTo house miners pushed off company land during the strike, the union built 200 homes on ground donated by Tim Morgan, west of Black Diamond. The houses went up fast, with little insulation, and the settlement became known as Morganville. Some of those houses are still standing.
- Around the World bazaarsBy about 1900 nearly 3,500 people of many nationalities lived here, and neighborhoods took names like Swede Town and Welsh Town. At Around the World bazaars, each neighborhood cooked the foods of its homeland while residents from the others went from house to house tasting them.
- The depot is the museumThe Black Diamond Historical Museum fills the old depot. Seattle and Walla Walla Railroad trains used it from 1884 to 1916, and Pacific Coast Railway trains from 1916 to 1951. Passenger trains stopped in 1925, but a train carried men to the mine until 1931, and coal and freight trains ran into the 1940s.
