That is incorrect. Jenkins was built by Consolidation Coal Company after they purchased 100,000 acres of coal rich land in 1910 from John CC Mayo who was a land speculator for Northern Coal and Coke. Consolidation Coal Company borrowed 40 million dollars to create a “company” town from the wilderness. The town of Jenkins, which was chartered on January 9, 1912, is celebrating it’s Centennial Year this year.
