Georges Creek Coal & Iron Company
by William Fugera
Years ago I lived in Cumberland, Maryland. I had heard of the Georges Creek area but never paid much attention to it. After acquiring Georges Creek Coal and Iron Company scrip, which was used in Farmington, West Virginia, from 1903 - 1909, I became curious about the company and coal mining in western Maryland. I decided to do further research.
