The Miner's Memorial Statue that stands at City Hall in Louisville is a testament to the men who carved the city's early history out of the earth. The first coal mine opened in August of 1877. The area was known as the Northern Coal Field and miners there were comparatively well paid. Despite that fact, the economy in the area was sluggish due to frequent strikes and the seasonal nature of mining. Today Louisville has developed into a middle-class comfort zone, as it has become a bedroom community for surrounding cities and industries.
