Haysi, Dickenson County: From the Mouth of McClure to Coal, Railroads, Fire, and Floods

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. According to the town’s official history, water reached eight feet deep along the business district, damaging buildings and threatening the livelihoods of merchants who had spent years establishing themselves in the narrow valley. For a community already familiar with disaster, the flooding was another test of its determination to survive.

Aily, Dickenson County: The Counts Family, a Rural Post Office, and the Aily Coal Bed

Appalachian Community Histories – Aily, Dickenson County: The Counts Family, a Rural Post Office, and the Aily Coal Bed. In the mountains of Dickenson County, Virginia, along the waters of Lick Creek, lies the small community of Aily. Unlike the larger coal towns that developed throughout Southwest Virginia during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Aily grew from the farms, family settlements, and local businesses that had existed in the region long before the arrival of industrial mining. Its history was shaped by the Counts family, the establishment of a rural post office, and the coal-bearing mountains that surrounded the community.

Bee, Dickenson County: Post Offices, Gristmills, Churches, and Rural Mountain Life

Appalachian Community Histories – Bee, Dickenson County: Post Offices, Gristmills, Churches, and Rural Mountain Life. Among the ridges and narrow valleys of southwestern Virginia, near the boundary between Dickenson and Buchanan counties, lies the small community of Bee. Unlike the coal towns that emerged around railroad stations and company mines, Bee developed as a rural settlement where farming, timber, churches, and family connections shaped everyday life. Its history reaches back into the nineteenth century, when much of the surrounding countryside remained relatively isolated from the commercial centers of Virginia.

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.
