Description
1902 Series $5 note from THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK & TRUST COMPANY OF FRACKVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA, SERIAL 2666
PLAIN BACK – CHARTER #7860
Frackville was settled in 1861. It was incorporated more than a decade later in 1876, when the villages of Frackville and Mountain City merged to form the borough of Frackville. The name “Mountain City”, however, is still a common nickname for the borough. A diner and beer distributor were both named after it.
Early in the 20th century, anthracite coal mining was the chief industry of this area, Northeastern Pennsylvania’s historic Coal Region. While many mines were operated in the area, the borough developed about 4 miles south of Shenandoah as a predominantly residential community – for workers in and related to mining. With many immigrants to the borough and region, they developed businesses reflecting their cultures. In 1922, Frackville had its own independent brewery.
This is one of the #21 large-size notes known in the census for this Schuylkill County bank. There are #0 small-size notes.
