Description
This
illustration
titled
"The
Ironmasters
"
depicts
the
production
of
steel
by
workers
using
a
stone
furnace
. The
image
is
taken
from
Standard
Oil's
"
Industry
in
Ohio
Heritage
"
series
.
While
iron
production
originated
in the
northeastern
corner
of
Ohio
,
during
the
first
half
of the
nineteenth
century
,
southern
Ohioans
dominated
the
industry
. The
most
productive
area
was
centered
near
Hanging
Rock
,
along
the
Ohio
River
. By
1860
,
southern
Ohioans
had
established
sixty-nine
iron
furnaces
,
producing
more
than
100,000
tons
of
iron
annually
,
across
Gallia
,
Hocking
,
Jackson
,
Lawrence
,
Scioto
, and
Vinton
Counties
. The
manufacturers
sent
much
of the
iron
up
and
down
the
Ohio
River
to
Cincinnati
and
Pittsburgh
,
allowing
southern
Ohioans
to
prosper
. The
northeastern
part
of
Ohio
emerged
as the
primary
region
for
iron
production
in the
state
during
the
second
half
of the
nineteenth
century
.
During
the
1840s
,
northeastern
iron
producers
replaced
charcoal
furnaces
with
coal
ones
.
Coal
furnaces
produced
iron
of a
cleaner
and
finer
quality
. The
population
in
northeast
Ohio
grew
quickly
as a
result
of
increased
iron
production
, as
well
as
because
of the
discovery
of
abundant
coal
resources
.
Numerous
business
owners
,
including
John
Rockefeller
,
located
their
companies
in
Akron
,
Cleveland
,
Canton
, and
Youngstown
,
because
of the
abundant
coal
and
iron
in the
region
.
