Coal has been part of India's history since time immemorial. It was first commercially mined in 1774 from Raniganj coalfield, West Bengal. Introduction of steam locomotives and the First World War were major events which spurred both the production as well as the importance of coal in India.

The first coal mining in North America began in New Brunswick, Canada in the early 1600s. Coal was found by French explorers and fur traders along the shores of Grand Lake where rivers and erosion had exposed the coal.

Coal was one of man's earliest sources of heat and light. The Chinese were known to have used it more than 3,000 years ago. The first recorded discovery of coal in this country was by French explorers on the Illinois River in 1679, and the earliest recorded commercial mining occurred near Richmond, Virginia, in 1748.
