From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Evanston (also called Evanson) is an unincorporated settlement in Breathitt County, Kentucky.[1] Established in 1950, it was named for Everett J. Evans.[2]
The settlement was managed by the Pond Creek Pocahontas Company, which established a coal mine in the same year. It was later taken over by the Island Creek Coal Company which operated coal mines in the area.[3][4][5] The coal-producing area was once known as the Tiptop triangle.[6]
