Coalburg, Ohio, rarely Coalburgh, is an unincorporated tract in northwestern Hubbard Township, Trumbull County, at approximately 41 degrees and 11 minutes North, 80 degrees and 35 minutes West.[1] It was never a city, a town or a village. Its only official station, a post office, was closed in 1913, when the dwindling population could no longer support it.[2][3] Although listed in the 1940 census enumeration district descriptions as a separate entity to the Hubbard township, no population figures were recorded.[4]
During the late 19th century, miners who worked the nearby coalfields and their families resided in Coalburg. The settlement had an active business district and houses of worship.[5] Several railroads transported coal from Coalburg’s mines to iron foundries in Youngstown, Ohio, and beyond. National press attention was focused on Coalburg during a regional coal miners’ strike in 1873, when mine owners transported newly arrived immigrants, Italians and Swedes, from eastern seaports and African Americans from Virginia to break the miners’ labor action.[6]
