Asbestos mining town. Even though we've known asbestos mining could harm miners longterm since the Romans, it really is a wonder material that was appreciated until a few decades ago. I mean, it's a freaking rock/mineral that can be woven into fiber. Medieval kings would make asbestos cloth that could be cleaned by tossing it in a fire.
