History

Mahanoy City (pronounced MA-HA-noy City, or MA-noy City) is a borough located 50 miles (80 km) north by west of Reading, Pennsylvania in northern Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania or the southern Coal Region. The name "Mahanoy" is believed to be a variation of the Native American word 'Maghonioy', or "the salt deposits".

Mahanoy City, originally a part of Mahanoy township was settled in 1859 and incorporated as a borough in 1863. The valley is also part of the anthracite Coal Region of Pennsylvania, fire clay abounds in the vicinity, and the borough's principal industries are still the mining and shipping of coal although the demand for it has steadily declined since its peak in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The borough was a major center of anthracite coal production and the region was embroiled in the Molly Maguires incidents. Aside from coal, the manufacturing of shirts, bedding and foundry products is also fairly prominent.
