Talk:Iron Mountains

Origin of the name
This topic should be addressed in the article, together with information about the iron and steel industry that began but did not prosper in the area. I know from living in the area for a few years that the nearby cities of Damascus, Virginia and Laurel Bloomery, Tennessee took their names from such activity: Damascus because Damascus, Syria had been a steel center, and Laurel Bloomery from nearby Laurel Creek and bloomery. – Wdfarmer (talk) 14:34, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
