Cambria Iron Company 03

            From Uncovering PA-

The iron industry first came to the Johnstown area in the 1840s, roughly a hundred years after it was first begun in southeastern Pennsylvania. Within a few years, the industry grew large enough that the Cambria Iron Company was formed in 1852.

The mills here were considered models for others, and larger companies like Bethlehem Steel and US Steel copied many of the innovations and practices at the mill. The site was also ideal due to its access to natural resources, as well as river and train traffic, which provided easy access to larger cities.

Over the years, the company would become known as the Cambria Steel Company before being sold to the Midvale Steel and Ordinance Company in 1916. Finally, in 1923, it was sold to Bethlehem Steel. The mill would be part of Bethlehem Steel until it was finally shut down in 1992.

Learn more about Bethlehem Steel at the National Museum of Industrial History in Bethlehem.
