Photographer: From The Story of Coal and Iron in Alabama by Ethel Armes
Taken: Circa 1910
Caption: Truman H. Aldrich
Additional Description: Now an unincorporated community within the city limits of Montevallo, Aldrich was connected with coal mining as far back as 1839. It did not come to be known as Aldrich until 1875, when industrialist Truman H. Aldrich purchased both the town and the surrounding mines, naming it after himself. An executive of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, he also founded the Cahaba Coal Mining Company in Bibb County in 1881.
