C. Chandler & Co.'s Business Directory For Indiana CANNELTON. The county seat of Perry county, situated on the Ohio river, one hundred and twenty miles below Louisville, and eighty from Evansville. It was laid out in 1835, was incorporated as a town in 1852, and became the county seat in 1859. It is a great mauufacturing town, and largely derives its importance and advantage from the vast coal fields that underlie it, and the adjoining country. It is at this place that the Ohio river cuts the great "Illinois coal field," embracing a portion of five States, and extending from Bowling Green, Kentucky, to the mouth of Rock river, Illinois, and from St. Louis, Missouri, to Bloomington, Iowa, underlying an area of 70,000 square miles. Cannelton is the great coaling station for the steamboats on the Ohio river, and is supplied with all the modern arrangements for a king is on. [sic] The climate, as well as the beautiful surroundings of the place, offers great attractions to all classes of citizens. It has an abundance of the most excellent limestone for building purposes to be found in the State, which, for beauty and effect, is almost equal to Italian marble. There is a large cotton mill erected here, which employs from four hundred to five hundred hands, one large tile factory, hub and spoke factory, foundry and machine shops, etc. The religious and educational interests of the place are in keeping with its business and commercial standing. It has seven churches, fine graded schools, with a splendid building in course of erection, which will, when completed, cost about $15,000. It has been increasing in population quite rapidly in the last few years, and now numbers about 3,500 inhabitants. Attorneys. DRUMB E E, court house.
