About Van Lear, Kentucky
The town is named for Van Lear Black, a director of the Consolidation Coal Company. His Fidelity Trust loaned the money for five miles of railroad into the company's Johnson County land. Underground mines ran around the clock from 1910 to 1946. During the boom years, more than 4,000 people lived here.
Consol merged with the Pittsburgh Coal Company in 1945 and gave up its Miller's Creek holdings. Families in company houses got the first chance to buy their homes, and many did. Most of the large buildings were later torn down.
- Who worked the minesThe mines at Van Lear were integrated, and Black and white miners worked underground together. The crews included Irish, Italian and Slavic immigrants, along with Appalachian and local men.
