History

Hanging Rock had its start in 1820 when European Americans built a blast furnace at the site. Village development followed as workers came to the furnace. The village takes its name from a nearby cliff. The village reached its peak population in 1890. Industrial changes reduced the need for labor, and people gradually left for work elsewhere.
