History
The village was named after coal mining magnate Sam Dalzell. The village was originally home to coal miners in Dalzell's surrounding mines. The beautiful scenery of the ancient coal mine ruins are an attraction all of their own. Situated on the southeast corner of Richards and Lucy streets sits a collection of wagon wheels recovered from the mining cars of yesteryear. Amongst the vast collection is a restored Civil War-era cannon complete with cannonballs.[citation needed]
