 Once a farm owned by the L. T. Foster family (located at the present-day location where Indianola Avenue and Canfield Road meet Glenwood Avenue) this area once had one of the most coal mines in the country.Many of the other south-side Youngstown neighborhoods had coal mines, but the coal from the Fosterville mine was so prized that it won a gold medal at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia.The last mine was closed in 1915 when all of the coal was extracted.
