Appalachian Community Histories – Haysi, Dickenson County: From the Mouth of McClure to Coal, Railroads, Fire, and Floods. On January 29, 1957, floodwaters from the Russell Fork swept through Haysi, Virginia, covering Main Street and leaving much of the small mountain community devastated.

Clinchco, Dickenson County: The Clinchfield Coal Corporation and the Rise of a Mining Town

Appalachian Community Histories – Clinchco, Dickenson County: The Clinchfield Coal Corporation and the Rise of a Mining Town. Along the McClure River in northern Dickenson County, Virginia, the town of Clinchco occupies a narrow mountain valley where coal, railroads, and generations of working families shaped one of Southwest Virginia’s most distinctive mining communities. Today, the surviving company houses, older commercial buildings, and railroad landscape offer reminders of a time when Clinchco was an important center of the Clinchfield Coal Corporation’s operations. During the first half of the twentieth century, thousands of tons of coal left the surrounding mountains, while the families who lived alongside the mines built schools, churches, businesses, and a community that extended far beyond the industry responsible for its creation.
