Pinkneyville's Past
Pinkneyville has a long history. In 1872, people described it as a "little mining village." This means it was a small place where people worked in mines. It had only a few small houses, called cottages, back then.
In 1891, an important river, the Pequest River, was mentioned in connection with Pinkneyville. People said that the "remotest source" of the Pequest River was "near Pinkneyville." This means the very beginning of the river, where it starts, was close to the village.
