Coal mining began around the 1880's. The town was named a few years later for the Black Diamond Coal Company of California. By 1895, the company was the major developer for coal in the area. At its peak around 1900, the town had around 3,500 people, many of which worked in the industry in some way. The coal was moved to the Seattle area via the railroad.
