There is a bit of mystery surrounding the name 'Fishburn'. One theory is that it is named after one of the founding families, the Fissebourne family, who named their residence manor the same as their family name. Another theory is that it is named such because of the history of monks fishing in the area. Either way, the name stays the same.

One part of local history which is very interesting is the coal mining industry in the area. Between the years of 1910-1973, coal mining was a huge part of life in the area. As a matter of fact, more than 1500 people were employed to mine coal in the 1950's, making the coal mining business the largest in the area.
