The town, originally linked to the village of Minersville, grew around rail shipping facilities established in 1886 and was incorporated in 1906. Manganese, used as an alloy in steel production, saw heightened demand during both world wars.The annual Miners Day event serves as a community gathering that recognizes that industrial past while bringing residents and visitors together for food, entertainment and activities.</div></body>
