Hanging Rock, Ohio, is a historic village that played a significant role in the initiation of the Iron Furnace Industry in Appalachia and the Mid-West in 1824. The region's rich iron deposits and abundant hardwoods attracted numerous small furnace sites, which produced the majority of iron in the United States from 1830 to 1900. Today, the remnants of these once-thriving iron furnaces can be found scattered throughout the hills of Southern Ohio and northern Kentucky.

With a history rooted in the iron industry, Hanging Rock stands as a testament to the rise and decline of this important sector. The stone stacks of the old furnaces serve as a reminder of the region's industrial past, while the surrounding towns, once bustling with ironworkers, have faded into obscurity. Hanging Rock offers visitors a glimpse into the fascinating history of the Hanging Rock Iron Region and its impact on the development of the United States.
