Uddingston remained a small, rural town until the Industrial Revolution, when it began to grow rapidly. One of the key industries in Uddingston during the 19th century was coal mining. There were several collieries in the area, which employed many local people. The coal mines also brought the railway to Uddingston, with a station being built in the town in 1879.
