History

Harrison Church discovered coal near the Hams Fork River in 1868. He gathered financial backing from a group in Minneapolis, and they formed the Hams Fork River Coal Company. Diamondville was built to house the miners, and the town was incorporated in 1896. [4]

The town was named for the superior-grade coal that came from the local mines. The coal resembled black diamonds. [4]
