Discover Cumberland
Cumberland was settled in 1837 and first called Poor Fork, after the poor soil along a fork of the Cumberland River. It stayed isolated until railroads arrived during the coal boom of the 1900s, and it was renamed Cumberland in 1926. In July 2019 coal miners blocked a train there to protest unpaid wages after Blackjewel LLC declared bankruptcy.
