    The Woodward Iron Company (located in the area between Hueytown, Brighton, and Bessemer, Alabama) was founded on December 31, 1881, by brothers William and Joseph Woodward. William was the company president and Joseph was the company secretary.  The company operated iron and coal mins, quarries and furnaces; these were connected by a private industrial railroad based in Bessemer, Alabama.  The company administrative office was located near Woodward Ore Mine #1, south of Paul's Hill in Bessemer.
    By the 1920s Woodward Iron was one of the nation's largest suppliers of pig iron. It was part of the industrial complex of heavy industries in the Birmingham and Bessemer area. The workforce eventually grew to more than 2000 men.
