On July 16, 1861, ground was broken for the first blast furnace in the Bethlehem area. The company was known in the planning stages as the Saucona Iron Works. As the first blast furnace went into operation it became the Bethlehem Rolling Mills & Iron Co. In 1904, Charles M. Schwab organized the company as the Bethlehem Steel Company.
