"NYESVILLE This town is situated in the central part of section 34, Washington Township, and is three miles northeast of Rockville. In 1871 the Sand Creek Coal Company purchased six hundred acres of coal land in sections 28, 33, and 34 in Washington Township. The south half of section 34 was owned by the Parke County Coal Company, the French Mining Company, John Batty from Wales, William Harrison, and Mr. Nowling. These lands are on a narrow plane between Sand Creek on the west and Little Raccoon Creek on the east. A plat of fifty-six lots was made and later Mr. Nowling platted six additional lots. The village was named in honor of W. H. Nye, the first president of the Sand Creek Coal Company. General Lew Wallace was the first secretary; Captain J. H. Lindley, the second president; N. W. Cummings, Secretary; General M, D. Manson, treasurer. These companies and individuals did a large business for a good many years, A switch was constructed from the mines to Sand Creek station on the Terre Haute and Logansport Railroad. This was later abandoned, the coal having been worked out except a small portion that is being mined for local use."
