Tennessee, December 30th, 1886. 100 Shares I/U Capital Stock Certificate, Black text with green border and undertint, Trio of allegorical figures at top center. VF condition, S/NM 55, HLBN. In 1886, the townsite of South Pittsburg was purchased by Nashville banker William Duncan, who helped organize the South Pittsburg City Company in December of that year. The town was platted by F.P. Clute, and incorporated in 1887 with John G. Kelly as its first mayor. This revival of the city's development roughly coincided with the completion of two large blast furnaces and a foundry, allowing large-scale iron production to begin. South Pittsburg experienced rapid growth in the 1890s, but struggled after TCI relocated to Alabama
