Description

View of Grove City, Mercer County, P.A., 1901 / drawn & published by T. M. Fowler & James B. Moyer.

This aero-view print of Grove City, Pennsylvania was drawn by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler and published by T. M. Fowler & James B. Moyer in 1901. Grove City was established along Wolf Creek as Pine Grove. Pine Grove prospered greatly when in 1869 the railroad to Pardoe was completed. This enabled several coal mines to open in the area.

Local coal mines of the era included the Black Diamond mine, which produced over 41,000 tons, the Cranberry mine, which gathered over 39,000 tons, and Spearï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s mine, which netted nearly 30,000 tons of coal. The coal produced was particularly hard and of considerable value.

Grove City College was founded in 1876 as Pine Grove Normal School, adopting the name Grove City College in 1882. The following year the borough was incorporated with that same name. Philanthropist and oil man J. Howard Pew graduated from Grove City College in 1900. In 1901, his father Joseph Newton Pew, Sr., a great supporter of the college, expanded his valuable Pittsburgh oil firm Sun Oil Company to include Beaumont, Texas when oil was discovered there.

The map from 1901 includes labeled streets, bridges, buildings and railroad route. It features an inset illustration of the "Shawï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s Mills Vicinity".
