Danville

Named for first settler Dan Beckwith, the town was platted in 1827; it was incorporated as a city in 1869. Once a major center for the production of coal and clay, Danville now supports a diversity of industry. A landmark of note is Danville Soldiers Monument, a work by Lorado Taft at Main and Gilbert streets.
