Quinwood Coal Camp

     Quinwood Coal Camp, located in the Greenbriar coal field near Lewisburg, WV, began its journey in 1919 and was owned by Quin Morton and Walter Wood (their company was called the Imperial Smokeless Coal Cmpany). There were close to 400 people in the town; 95.40% White, 2.53% African American, 0.23% Native American, and 1.84% from two or more races, Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.92% of the population. In 1947, Quinwood was among the few coal camps that became incorporated.In the mid 1940's the company opened two additional mines just across the county border under the same coal camp named simply, no. 2 and no. 3. No. 1 closed in 1949, no. 3 in 1958, and no. 2 in 1971. Another company, Westmoreland Coal Co., bought the no. 2 mine and operated it until 1982. AT Massey later purchased this from Westmoreland, and operated it into the 21st Century.
