For a time in the US history of coal mining, many of the miners lived on coal company property. This was especially true among the coal mining companies in West Virginia.
Mining camps grew into towns or cities due to the demand for resources, influx of workers and entrepreneurs, and investment in infrastructure such as roads and railways. As mining operations expanded, so did the need for services and facilities to support the growing population, ultimately leading to the establishment of permanent settlements.
Frequent violence in mining camps was often caused by factors such as overcrowding, competition for resources, disputes over claims, cultural differences among miners, lack of law enforcement, and the presence of transient populations with varying backgrounds and interests. These conditions could lead to conflicts over property rights, theft, gambling, alcohol, and personal disagreements, escalating into violence in the close-knit and often lawless environment of mining camps.
