For example, most of the small towns in southwestern Pennsylvania were coal patches. As company towns, all citizens were beholden to their employer, the coal company. They had to use the "company store", paid high company costs, and the company even had their own "company police" to enforce rules the company made. All the homes looked the same, one after another, built on hillsides, and with very tiny yards. Bentleyville PA, Vesta PA, Monessen PA,, Charleroi PA (and more) were all coal patches / company towns.
