"One of the outer districts, this is nonetheless a crucial one. These brave and hardy workers descend deep into the earth each day to mine the coal that keeps our nation running."
-Tribute Guide
Dark Days
During these times, District 12 was defeated, along with every other district, except District 13, which was destroyed completely. This district was built in a place once known as the Appalachia.
Main Industry
District 12's main export is coal mining. Their children have to be at least 17 to be in this job, while the younger ones go to school. This gives them a big disadvantage in the Games since they're not really prepared to fight.
Hunger Games
As mentioned above, District 12 does horribly bad when it comes to this sport. Their lack of food also doesn't help them either. Usually both the tributes die in the Cornucopia Bloodath, or are killed on day 2.

Trivia
- The pillar for District 12 says that there is only 3 victors, but that's not true. We know this since in The Hunger Games novel, before Katniss and Peeta won, they mentioned a deceased victor that won before Haymitch's time. Some people call this victor "Rummage Lorman."
