Village of McDonald has newly formed historical society
McDONALD — The village after 95 years in existence has a newly formed historical society.
The village grew up around the Carnegie Steel Co. plant at the bottom of Ohio Avenue after the plant opened in 1916.
Carnegie Steel built “mill” houses for employees to live in constructed of brick or stucco exteriors on streets on either side of Ohio Avenue from Fifth Street to the mill at the bottom of Ohio Avenue.
The plant later became a U.S. Steel plant, but closed in the late 1970s.
The new society had its first organizational meeting in December, and will formally be called the Historical Society of McDonald.
