Coal loader in Wheelwright, Kentucky, in 1946
Wheelwright is a city in the U.S. state of Kentucky. Located at the southern end of Floyd County, the land that would later become the city was originally owned by the Hall family. In 1916, the family sold their land to the Elk Horn Coal Company, which established a post office and named it Wheelwright in honor of its president, Jere Wheelwright. It was incorporated as a city in 1917. The Elk Horn Coal Company founded the city as a company town, and built houses, stores, churches, schools, and hospitals, which were used by miners employed by the company. In 1930, Wheelwright was sold to the Inland Steel Company, which in turn sold the city to the Island Creek Coal Company in 1966. In the 1970s, the mine closed and the city was purchased by the Kentucky Housing Corporation. This 1946 photograph, taken by the American photographer Russell Lee, shows Harry Fain, a coal loader from Wheelwright who worked for the Inland Steel Company. The photograph is in the collection of the National Archives and Records Administration.Photograph credit: Russell Lee; restored by Kentuckian
