Period+4+-+Centralia

The borough of Centralia is located in Columbia County, Pennsylvania. Centralia was founded in 1860, but it was initially known as Bull's head, named after a tavern in the borough. Johnathan Faust opened Bull's head Tavern in 1841 in what was then Roaring Creek Township. In 1854, Alexande W. Rea, a civil and mining engineer for the Locust Mountain Coal and Iron Company, moved to the site and laid out streets and lots for development. The town was known as Centreville until 1865, when the post office was established and the name was changed to Centralia. The coal industry was the main employer in the area, mining continued hee until the 1960's. Bootleg mining still remained unil 1982. Stripe and open pt mining still remain, and a mine still remains 3 miles to the west. The fire under the town started when someone started a garbage fire in the bottom of a stripe mine, not knowing a large coal vein lay under the surface. The fire ignited the coal underneath, where it is still burning today. The government got involved and spent millions trying to put the fire out and mine the coal before it burns. In the 1980's the government bought the entire town and condemned it. Only 11 people still remain in the area the rest all packed up and left. The fire was once thought to be out but is still burning to this day. The fire is predicted to have enough fuel to burn for another century.

Good picture showing the location and surrounding areas, but more information could be added. Maybe add subtitles to separate information in paragraph form.
