Joseph and Robert Woods and Thomas Yeatman built the first charcoal cold-blast furnace here in 1830. It used brown hematite ore from local deposits. Destroyed by Union Forces in 1862, the present stack was built in 1873, with a railroad to the Tennessee Ridge, on the route of the present highway. Operations were discontinued in 1901.
