Carpet Cleaning For Black Diamond

Black Diamond was officially incorporated on February 19, 1959.
Black Diamond was a coal mining area. Eventually a town grew up around the mine in the 1880s and it was named in honor of the Black Diamond Coal Company of California, which owned and operated the mine. The town was home to around 3,500 people by the early 1900s, almost all of which produced coal, which was transported to Seattle via the Pacific Coast Coal train.
After World War I, the town shut down the mine as it was no longer viable to maintain. However a second mining boom struck the town in the early 1930s on the strength of multiple mining operations promoted by the Morris brothers through the Palmer Coking Coal Company. Mining has continued until very recently through the Pacific Coast Coal Company, formerly of San Francisco, and the prospect of future mining operations remain strong. Today the town is home to its original mining population, as well as a growing population of commuters to Seattle, Bellevue, and elsewhere.
The town has been home to many famous residents, including folk musician Brandi Carlile (who actually grew up a few miles east in Ravensdale). The minor-league baseball star Edo Vanni was born at Black Diamond in 1918. This city was put onto the official maps on February 9th 1954 which is considered its national birthdate.
