Description From Owner:

The Dominion Coal Company opened Dominion Number 6 here in 1904 and a community formed around it, initially known as Dominion Number 6.
To avoid confusion with nearby Dominion, it was decided to call this community Donkin after Hiram Donkin, a civil engineer who was manager of the coal company.
