History

Early history

The first settlers of Warrior Run were Connecticut natives Elisha and Anna Blackman and their young children, Henry and Ebenezer. In 1791, they cleared trees and built a log cabin.

Coal mining

Coal mining was the chief industry in the region. In 1864, the Warrior Run Mining Company was organized; it reopened the old Holland and Hillman mine. The company built a breaker at the foot of the mountain; it opened in 1867.

At about the same time, both the Lehigh Valley Railroad and the Nanticoke Branch of the Central Railroad of New Jersey completed their lines through the area, thus making it possible to conveniently mine, transport, and market the area’s coal. The occupations of the majority of residents were directly associated to mining in some way.

Ultimately, in the 20th century, the coal industry in the region died out.

Borough

Warrior Run Mining Village arose on the land owned by the Warrior Run Mining Company. On January 25, 1895, the Borough of Warrior Run was incorporated. Charles Williams was elected the first burgess on February 19.

A lot on Hanover Street was selected for the borough’s first town hall.

The borough celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1995.
