Nemacolin is a former coal company town in Greene County, Pennsylvania. The street names tell the story: Pershing Boulevard, Sheridan Lane, Sherman Avenue, Haig Lane, Foch Circle, and Petain Avenue. These aren't random names. They're WWI-era military leaders, a naming pattern common in company towns built during the Great War. The Nemacolin Coal Company founded this community, and the grid still carries its legacy.
With 837 residents and 359 households, Nemacolin qualifies as a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery for this 1.3 square mile community. The post office maintains 286 PO Boxes, and about 80% of households rely on them. Although some rural and city carrier routes exist, the PO Box classification means this ZIP has no street delivery infrastructure of its own.
The economics paint a clear picture. Median household income sits at $17,774, among the lowest in Pennsylvania. Only 1.1% of adults hold bachelor's degrees. Of those employed, 276 work in transportation, warehousing, or utilities, reflecting the region's coal and industrial heritage. Home values average $92,600, and 69% of housing units are owner-occupied.
Nemacolin lies about 11 miles from Cheat Lake and 15 miles from Morgantown, West Virginia. It's an Appalachian community where the coal industry shaped everything from street names to mail delivery patterns. The post office isn't just a mail facility. It's one of the few remaining civic anchors in a town built for miners.
Streets named for WWI military figures like Pershing, Sheridan, Sherman, Foch, Haig, and Petain reveal Nemacolin's origins as a coal company town.
