The most important source of iron ore in Missouri was the Precambrian core area of the Ozark Uplift in Iron County, which began producing iron ore in 1815 (miningartifacts.org). The company was organized in 1872, and the new ironworks was constructed only 50 feet away from the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad. The company's new blast furnace produced about 30 tons of pig iron per day. The company declared bankruptcy in 1877 (National Register of Historic Places).
