"Significant in the context of the mining and coke industry that occurred between 1870 and 1930 in southeast Tennessee and northwest Georgia. The region was part of the Appalachian coal field that stretched from northern Pennsylvania to central Alabama in the Cumberland Mountains region. This New South industry was initiated when the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad opened in 1854."[2]
