Originally settled as Hickory Grove and later known as Amity, the community was officially named Pocahontas in 1850, honoring the legendary Powhatan princess. Incorporated as a village in 1847, Pocahontas has a proud history of community building. GigFire is excited to bring gig-speed internet to Pocahontas through our fixed internet network.
Pocahontas experienced an economic transformation in the early 1900s when coal deposits were discovered. The Pocahontas Coal Mine, constructed in 1906, became a major employer with approximately 500 miners at peak production, operating until 1942. Today, the village has successfully transitioned its economy to agriculture and small business, with approximately 43 business establishments employing about 145 people. GigFire supports this diverse economy with reliable internet service.
The village maintains a beautifully designed 30-acre park featuring three baseball diamonds, two fishing lakes, and three picnic pavilions. Community events abound: Easter Egg Hunt, Annual PTO Color Run, City Wide Yard Sale, Fourth of July Fireworks, Firemen's Picnic and Parade, the Radius Rod Car Show attracting over 150 pre-1949 street rods, and the annual Homecoming. GigFire connects residents to these vibrant community experiences.
