Founded in the 1880s during railroad expansion, Libby was named after William Libby, an early settler and prospector. The arrival of the Northern Pacific Railway in 1892 spurred growth, establishing it as a hub for timber and mineral industries. Vermiculite mining began in 1923 at the Rainy Creek mine by Zonolite Company, which expanded operations until selling to W.R. Grace & Company in 1963; Grace continued mining until closure in 1990, extracting over 80% of U.S. vermiculite supply used in insulation, gardening, and construction products. The ore was contaminated with up to 26% amphibole asbestos, primarily tremolite-actinolite, a highly friable form not regulated as strictly as chrysotile at the time. Widespread community occurred through airborne dust from , milling, and widespread use of contaminated in attics, yards, and playgrounds, affecting residents, workers, and even children playing near export piles. studies document elevated risks: a 15-fold increase in among mine workers compared to non-exposed residents, alongside higher rates of , , and pleural abnormalities.

Historical sites and events

was a Confederate military prison in , during the , primarily used to confine officers captured in battle. Originally constructed as a tobacco warehouse owned by the firm Libby & Sons at the corner of 20th and Cary Streets, the three-story brick structure was repurposed for incarceration starting in March 1862 after the Confederate government seized it due to the owner's Northern ties. It functioned mainly as a holding facility for high-ranking prisoners and a receiving depot for newly captured personnel before transfer to other sites, with Captain Thomas P. Turner serving as commandant from 1862 onward. Conditions within were severely deficient, characterized by overcrowding that often exceeded capacity for hundreds of officers, inadequate rations consisting primarily of and occasional , and rampant due to poor , lack of , and to in unfurnished rooms without blankets or bedding. Prisoners frequently reported infestations, contaminated water, and limited medical attention, contributing to high morbidity rates, though mortality was lower than at sites like Andersonville owing to the officer-only policy and shorter average confinement periods. Confederate authorities attributed shortages to wartime blockades and resource strains, while accounts emphasized deliberate neglect; exchanges of prisoners under agreements in 1862–1863 temporarily alleviated pressure before breakdowns in reciprocity led to prolonged detentions. The facility achieved notoriety for the Civil War's largest successful mass escape on the night of February 9, 1864, when 109 officers, led by figures including Colonel Thomas E.G. Ransom, tunneled approximately 55 feet from a basement rat hole to an adjacent vacant lot over three weeks of covert digging. Of the escapees, 59 evaded recapture and reached lines in the North, aided by a network of sympathetic civilians and slaves, while others were recaptured or perished from exposure during flight through Confederate territory. This event prompted tightened security measures, including additional guards and barricades, but highlighted vulnerabilities in Confederate prison administration amid escalating Union advances. Libby Prison ceased operations with the Confederate evacuation of on April 3, 1865, following its capture by Union forces, after which liberated prisoners documented their ordeals in memoirs and congressional testimonies that influenced postwar perceptions of Southern prison brutality. The building stood abandoned until 1889, when it was disassembled and relocated to Chicago's as a war trophy exhibit, later moved again for a permanent before demolition in 1899 due to structural decay and financial issues.
