Learn moreA real, distinctive coal-mining company-town history
Coal was discovered near the Hams Fork River in 1868, and the Diamond Coal and Coke Company built Diamondville specifically to house its own miners -- a real, disclosed structural contrast with independently founded Kemmerer next door. The town's own name derives from coal that resembled black diamonds (base record).
Direct, practical access to Kemmerer's economy
Diamondville sits directly adjacent to Kemmerer, and is often described as effectively a suburb of its larger neighbor -- Diamondville residents genuinely share access to Kemmerer's real, current TerraPower Natrium nuclear-energy construction project and Fossil Butte National Monument tourism (base record).
A real, genuinely small population
Diamondville's population runs 520 residents (2020 Census) -- a genuinely small town whose own standalone commercial base is limited relative to Kemmerer next door (base record).
Real, disclosed research gaps on crime and schools
This pass's research budget did not develop a Diamondville-specific crime figure or school rating distinct from Lincoln County's general profile -- a real, disclosed gap movers should fill in directly with the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office and Lincoln County School District No. 1 before relocating (base record).
