Every twenty-five years since 1923, a commemorative book has been written covering the history of the City of Monessen and issued in the jubilee years, as an official story of the city. This year, we decided to alter the format somewhat. We included subjects suggested by committee and board members, items that appeared in our newletters and on our Facebook site, questions we received at the Monessen Heritage Museum, and areas of interest we felt were not covered or adequately covered in previous anniversary books. We dedicate this volume to our immigrant ancestors, who settled in Monessen bringing their traditions, customs and food to build a city that is a great melting pot on the Monongahela.
A history of Monessen from its founding in 1897 by William H. Donner and Colonel James M. Schoonmaker and others as a new world industrial Essen on the Mon to the present day. Topics include: businesses, ethnic groups, churches, schools, sports, famous Monessenites, organizations, clubs, founders, presidential visits to Monessen, and events.
