Workmen and their
families are flocking to Safe
Harbor since the iron
works were put into full operation On This Day in 1880. The Lancaster Daily
Intelligencer reported that 10 – 12 railroad car loads of pig iron have arrived
daily this past week. A new siding from the rail line to the works is now
finished. Housing has become scarce near the iron works.
