HISTORY OF NEW BURNSIDE
|
|
The town was named for Civil War General Ambrose Burnside who encouraged the construction of the Cairo-Vincennes Railroad to transport coal from southern Illinois mines. New Burnside was a home to over 1200 people by 1876. Over the years, as its mine and the railroad declined, the population decreased. The town of New Burnside isn't the only thing named after Ambrose Burnside. The way the general wore his whiskers has given us the word burnsides, or sideburns. |
