POMEROY

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 48 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
POMEROY , a
village
  and the county-seat of Meigs county,
Ohio
 , U.S.A., on the
Ohio
  river, about 85 m. S.S.E. of
Columbus
 . Pop. (1890) 4726; (1900) 4639, including 453 foreign-born and 28o negroes; (1910) 4023. Pomeroy is served by the Hocking Valley and (across the river)
Baltimore
  & Ohio railways, by inter-urban electric railway, and by passenger and freight boats to the leading river ports. It occupies a strip of ground between the river and a range of steep hills. Bituminous coal and
salt
  abound in the
district
 , and there are deposits of building stone, fireclay and glass sand. The first
settlement
  here was established in 1816, coal
mining
  was begun three years later, and in 1827 a town was laid out and named Nyesville. There was little progress, however, until 1833, when Samuel W. Pomeroy (in whose honour the present name was adopted) formed a company, which began
mining
  coal on a large scale. Pomeroy was incorporated as a
village
  and was made the county-seat in 1841. In 185o the first of several
salt
  wells, from loon to 1200 ft. in depth, was operated. ,
