Real history
Henry Ballard found an exposed coal vein here in 1908. He had sold out by 1911. The Ballard and Thompson Railroad was incorporated in July 1911 and finished in 1912, and coal shipped from October 1912 on a spur from Thompson that crossed the stream thirteen times (Wikipedia).
The town was lived in from about 1910 to 1955. In 2017 much of it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Ballard-Sego Coal Mine Historic District (Wikipedia).
