Baryte within limestone in large quantities were examined in Eagleville in 1899, but its distance from the railroad deemed it as unprofitable to work.[2] Mineral deposits were first discovered in the area by the 1870s.[3]

Industry

Gold mining occurred in Eagleville in the early 1900s.[4] An iron baron mine was present in Eagleville in the 1910s.[5]
