How Itmann, Wyoming county, West Virginia got its name
In 1916, the Pocahontas Fuel Company opened a driftmine operation a short distance from the mouth of Barkers Creek. The president of Pocahontas, Isaac T. Mann, had 120 dwellings built to house his employees. This coal camp grew into the town of Itmann, which was named after Isaac T. Mann. The Pocahontas Fuel Company flourished here for several years, but following World War I, a slump in business caused it to close. The mine remained inactive until 1958 when it was then acquired by Pittsburgh Consolidated Coal Company.
