Morgantown: A Story of Corruption, Intimidation, Larceny and Arson

  • Resumen

  • SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio – A crossroads in northeastern Beaver Township in Mahoning County couldn’t appear more sublime today.

    Regal houses and estates dot the neighborhood along Calla Road as it runs eastward across state Route 164 and into nearby Springfield Township, sweeping toward Evans Lake. Just to the south is the entrance to one of Mahoning County’s most elegant clubs, The Lake Club, where patrons spend time golfing, swimming and dining.

    Not so 150 years ago. During the mid-19th century, this was coal country – a part of rural Mahoning County that lured workers who toughed it out in the local mines. By the 1860s, this corner of Beaver Township had earned an unusual name: “Morgantown.”
