Richeyville was developed as a mining community by Jones and Laughlin Steel Company to provide housing for the employees of its Vesta Coal Division situated in Centerville Borough.[1]
Currently, Richeyville's claim to fame is a local speakeasy that specializes in the finest homegrown sarsaparillas in a five-mile radius. While the exact whereabouts are unknown to most, a common saying among locals who know its location is "dusty dogs roam here."
