Centralia - Columbia County, Pennsylvania The borough of Centralia is located in Columbia County, Pennsylvania. Centralia was founded in 1860, but it was initially known as Bull's Head, named after a tavern in the borough. Johnathan Faust opened Bull's Head Tavern in 1841 in what was then Roaring Creek Township. In 1854, Alexander W. Rea, a civil and mining engineer for the Locust Mountain Coal and Iron Company, moved to the site and laid out streets and lots for development. The town was known as Centreville until 1865, when the post office was established and the name was changed to Centralia. Centralia was incorporated as a borough in 1866. The anthracite coal industry was the principal employer in the community. Coal mining continued in Centralia until the 1960s, when most of the companies went out of business. Bootleg mining continued until 1982. Strip and open-pit mining is still active in the area, and there is an underground mine employing about 40 employees three miles to the west.
With dawning horror, residents came to realize that the fire was not going to be extinguished, or ever burn itself out -- at least not until all the interconnected coal veins in eastern Pennsylvania were spent in some epic, meatless barbecue. As the underground fire worked its way under rows of homes and businesses, the threat of fires, asphyxiation, carbon monoxide poisoning, and long-term health impact became a daily concern.
The government eventually stepped in, and Centralia joined an elite club of communities, including Love Canal and Times Beach. Declared municipalis non grata, Centralia was slowly abandoned as houses were demolished or burned, and citizens relocated. |

No
one knows exactly how it started, but a coal vein has been burning under the Pennsylvania mining town of
Centralia since 1961. Some trace it back to careless trash incineration in an open pit mine igniting a coal
vein. The fire crawled, insidiously, along coal-rich deposits far from the miner's pick, venting hot and
poisonous gases up into town, through the basements of homes and businesses. 
In
1860 Jonathan Hoagland opened the first store opposite the "Bull's Head Tavern". By 1862, he
was appointed the postmaster. The community was then known as Centerville. When the post office was
applied for in the name of Centerville, another town by that name already existed in Pennsylvania.
The name of Centralia was suggested by a Mr. Rae and was then accepted by the postal service as the
name of the post office and the town. The incorporation came about in 1866 when the Borough of
Centralia was officially chartered. The first Mayor was James Dyke. The title at that time was
actually Chief Burgess rather than Mayor.
