Beaver Meadow Railroad and Coal Company
The Beaver Meadows Railroad & Coal Company was chartered April 7, 1830, to build a railroad from the mines near Beaver Meadows, Pennsylvania, beyond Broad Mountain along Beaver Creek to the Lehigh Canal along the shore opposite Mauch Chunk to Palmerston on the Lehigh River and then along the river to Parryville, Pennsylvania. The settlement dated to a 1787 land sale to Patrick and Mary Keene, thence to Nathan Beach.
