OUR WESTERN FRONTIER POLAND TOWNSHIP HISTORY
Compiled by Connie Coloutes
Coal is still being mined in Poland Township. The presence of these minerals was
responsible for the beginning of an industry that was destined to become the commercial
backbone of the great Mahoning Valley. Poland Township also had limestone deposits in
its southeastern corner, which are still being mined today. Industrialization began in
Poland Township in 1802 or 1803, when Daniel and James Heaton built the Hopewell
furnace, a small charcoal stack, on the banks of Yellow Creek. The brothers arranged for
the rights to dig ore and make charcoal from surrounding timber.
In 1806, John Struthers and Robert Montgomery erected a second furnace on
Yellow Creek below the Heaton stack, an enterprise in which Robert Alexander, James
Mackey and David Clendennen also became interested. In 1807, these new furnace
owners bought the Heaton stack and all of Heaton's ore and wood rights. These furnaces
operated until 1812 -- sometime during the War of 1812 -- it was permanently
abandoned, and the manufacture of iron was shifted to the Mill Creek and Mahoning
River valleys. The furnaces were not permanently abandoned until the 1930s.
