About Mayfield

Mayfield developed around 1880 and incorporated in 1881 as the borough of Glenwood. It became Mayville in 1888 and took its present name in 1890, for Captain William A. May, who managed a local coal company operation.

Coal mining led the economy, with the Glenwood, Hillside, and Keystone collieries working within the borough. A silk mill and trolley service to Carbondale added to the town during its industrial years.
