River
.
Pomeroy
is
located
in
southeastern
Ohio
,
along
the
Ohio
River
.
It
was
named
for
Samuel
Pomeroy
, a
Boston
merchant
who
in
1804
purchased
262
acres
of
land
on the
site
of the
city
. As
early
as
1770
coal
was
discovered
near
by, but
it
was
1809
before
Nicholas
Roosevelt
opened
a
mine
along
the
river
to
provide
fuel
for the
steamboats
about
to
appear
on the
Ohio
. In
1832
the
coal
seams
on the
Samuel
Pomeroy
tract
were
opened
and
1,000
bushels
of
coal
were
shipped
down
the
river
. The
next
year
Pomeroy
formed
a
company
which
,
having
acquired
four
miles
of the
river
front
,
began
to
mine
and
distribute
coal
on a
large
scale
.
Prior
to
1850
Pomeroy
was the
only
town
in
Ohio
shipping
large
quantities
of
coal
down
the
Ohio
and
Mississippi
Rivers
. By
1880
,
when
Ohio
was the
Nation’s
third-ranking
bituminous
coal
Sate
,
Meigs
County
, of
which
Pomeroy
is
the
seat
,
stood
fifth
among
some
30
coal
producing
counties
.
