Historical Context
The Columbia Steel Corporation was organized in 1922 for the purpose of consolidating the properties, plant and business of the Columbia Steel Company operating at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, California, and Portland, Oregon, with the properties of the Utah Coal & Coke Company and certain iron ore properties in Utah.
The new company expanded the plants of the Columbia Steel Company at Pittsburgh by increasing the open-hearth capacity and by adding to mills already built sheet and wire mills to meet requirements of Coast markets. In addition, the company constructed at a plant site between Provo and Springville, Utah, a blast furnace and by-product coke oven plant for making of pig iron to supply pig iron requirements of new steel works and the general market for merchant iron on the Coast.
The company was acquired by Unites States Steel in 1929.
