Coal baron Sam Dixon owned Scarbro and named it after Scarborough, England. This was the White Oak Fuel Co. and the year was 1899. Later the operation was owned by the mighty New River Company. The Scarbro mine closed in 1932, but some people still live in this coal camp in houses built by the coal company one hundred years ago.
Here Below you will find the Steps and strides they made.
The art deco company store at Scarbro was built in 1937 to replace an older one that burned. The New River Company closed the store in 1969. (July 2008 image by author)
