History

By 1940, the local brickyards had ceased production, and population declined to 3,185 inhabitants. Since the 1970s- with the loss of light manufacturing firms- the number of the town's residents has dwindled further. From 1871-1873 the Benders, later called the Bloody Benders, set up an inn outside of town and killed at least 12 travellers including one child. By 1920, 4,698 people called Cherryvale home, and in 1925 the community featured 20 groceries, 10 restaurants, 2 theatres (the Liberty Theatre and the Royal Theatre), 11 churches, and a "Cherryvale Business College." There were also six brick plants that used the abundant natural gas of the area to fuel their kilns cheaply. The Edgar Zinc Company was once the world's largest zinc smeltering facility.
