Biographical/Historical note
Seven businessmen founded the Bessemer Land and Improvement Company in July 1886 (the companywas incorporated in January 1887) as a land speculation venture in the mineral-rich valley of centralAlabama. Starting with the initial acquisition of 4040 acres of land, the company recognized theimportance of attracting viable industries to the area to employ the residents of Bessemer. It providedincentives to businesses (either cash gifts, grants, loans or a combination of these means) to locate on itslands. The company also engaged in the acquisition of other companies to keep them in Bessemer or torelocate them there.
Under the direction of its first president, Henry F. DeBardelben, the company directly entered into themining and iron industries in 1895. The move into coal mining and iron production was a natural choiceafter the failure of the company to attract a major steel producer to Bessemer. After all, DeBardelben hadselected the name Bessemer to honor the inventor and to underscore the importance of steel in this town.

The founders had agreed to the site for their new city based on the land's fortuitous location between theores of Red Mountain, the rich coal veins of the surrounding area, and the vast limestone resources ofthe Jones Valley, and the initial investors had discussed the idea of diversification at the first meeting inCharleston in March 1886. To reflect the new missions of the company, it was renamed in 1903 as theBessemer Coal, Iron, and Land Company.
The company and the city enjoyed strong growth during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.By 1916, Bessemer was the fourth largest city in Alabama, and new mine purchases in Alabama andTennessee expanded the coal yield. However, the Depression and the decline in the coal market afterWorld War II brought sharp profit declines. The company also faced increasing competition from otherlocal mines and iron manufacturers in the area. After the war, the company lessened its dependence oncoal fortunes and returned to its initial charter as a land and development company. It focused on thegrowth of the Bessemer Mortgage and Securities Company and started work on new subdivisions in thearea.
After years of declining returns, the company disbanded in 1981, but Bessemer remains a living legacy ofthe initial stockholders of the land company.
