The first successful beehive oven was built only feet from the old stone house erected by Zachariah Connell. After the Civil War a beehive coke industry gained a foothold in the region.
One of the biggest players in the game was Henry Clay Frick, who would parlay the beehive ovens he owned by the age of 24 in into one of the world's greatest fortunes. In fact for a spell during the heyday of the coke days from the s to the s, Connellsville was said to have more millionaires per capita than any other place in the country.
What is Kobo Super Points?
At its peak in , the Connellsville district's 38, ovens provided fully half the entire nation's supply of metallurgical coke. It took 2, railcars each day to haul it away. Most of the coke was used in blast furnaces to smelt iron ore into molten pig iron, the raw material for steel. The demand for coke pushed many other emerging industries out, making the city along with Fayette County almost entirely dependant on both coal and coke. When better heating processes were developed, Connellsville coke was no longer needed and the industry went bust — along with the economy of Fayette County.
A few ovens remain in operation at spots throughout the region, but the industry no longer belongs to Connellsville. The coal today goes into by-product ovens where every ingredient is captured and used.
