What is the history of Mineral, Virginia?
AB-Wikibot Apr 19th, 2007 Mineral was originally known as Tolersville, but adopted its current name when it incorporated in 1902 due to the mining industry that supported the community. It was the center of gold mining activity in Louisa County and during its heyday there were no fewer than fifteen gold mines located within two miles of the town. A zinc and lead mine also operated in the area into the 1970s. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral%2C_Virginia Like • Report No comments. Post one | Permalink Comments Add a comment…
