History

In 1909, a coal mine called the Wabash Mine was owned by the Wabash Coal Company of Cleveland, with 76 employees. [3] By 1915, the mine had been renamed the Netta Mine and had transferred ownership to the Netta Coal Company, also of Cleveland, with 84 employees working. The Wabash Railroad maintained a station in Parlett for loading the coal. [4] In 1921, there was a 300-ton steam shovel operating at the mine that had "been there for a considerable time", owned by the Wayne Coal Company. [5]

The Parlett Post Office was established on March 26, 1906 and discontinued on January 14, 1928. Mail service is now handled through the Cadiz branch. [6]

The Consolidation Coal Company (CCC) was founded in 1875 in Iowa and purchased by the Chicago and North Western Railroad in 1880 in order to secure a local source of coal. The company operated in south central Iowa in Mahaska and Monroe counties until after World War I. Exhaustion of some resources, competition from overseas markets, and other changes led to the company's closing down its mines and leaving its major planned towns by the late 1920s. The CCC worked at Muchakinock in Mahaska County until the coal resources of that area were largely exhausted. In 1900, the company purchased 10,000 acres (40 km2) in southern Mahaska County and northern Monroe County, Iowa.
