Along with coal, the Scioto Salt-works was located along the banks of Salt creek, a tributory of the Scioto River. This was Ohio's first industry. After the close of the Salt-works there was little economic growth in Jackson County. Agriculture became the mainstay of family and survival. By the 1850's Jackson County once again became an industrial hub with the need for charcoal iron. Prior to 1850 there were two iron furnaces working. Between 1853 and 1856 twenty-one more furnaces were built in the region known as Hanging Rock. With the railroad going through the town of Jackson the population of the county grew from 4,000 residents to over 10,000 residents between 1820 and 1860.
