Historical Context
The Charcoal Iron Company of America was incorporated by American, Canadian, and British interests in Michigan in 1915.
The company remained in business until 1923 when the business declared bankruptcy.
The roots of the company go back to the Ashland Iron & Steel Company, which was established in 1886 and commenced work on the world’s largest charcoal-iron blast furnace later that year. The city of Ashland donated fourteen blocks to the company so it could utilize the area’s vast deposit of iron ore and timber to produce steel and iron.
Initially, the company obtained charcoal from area suppliers, but by 1901 had constructed sixty charcoal kilns on the plant site. The number of kilns had increased to eighty-four by 1909, by which time the name of the firm had changed to the Lake Superior Iron & Chemical Company. It became the Charcoal Iron Company of America in 1915.
