Coal mining was central to Boone's early history. By 1849 local blacksmiths were already digging coal from the banks of Honey Creek, south of the future town. John Insley Blair platted the town in 1865, and it was incorporated the next year, when the Chicago and North Western Railway built its station there. It was first named Montana and was renamed Boone in 1871 in honor of Nathan Boone, son of Daniel Boone. The nearby town of Boonesboro, also chartered in 1866, was annexed in 1887.
The railroad spurred commercial mining. In 1867 Canfield and Taylor opened a 242-foot-deep mine just west of town and hauled coal to the tracks by wagon until a spur was built in 1874, after which the railroad ran the mine for 30 years. Miners worked the upper seam, about 3 feet thick, by the longwall method and the lower by room and pillar, and in 1912 United Mine Workers Local 869 had 554 members, nearly a tenth of the town's population. Boone is the birthplace of two Iowa retail chains: the grocery company Fareway, which keeps its offices there, and Casey's General Stores, whose first store opened in Boone in 1968. Gates Rubber, Archway Bakery and Quinn Iron and Wire Works were among other businesses with plants in the town. Sources Wikipedia: Boone, Iowa
