Abstract:

One of Orange County's more historical towns, Hillsborough, also nurtured industrial growth just outside its city limits. There were three large cotton mills located near Hillsboro, Belle-Vue, Eno, and Walker Brothers. Kennedy Lumber Company operated four miles north of Hillsboro in Yanceyville. Lumber company owner G. C. Kennedy also ran a nearby meat packing plant called Piedmont Packing Company. Another town near Hillsboro, Efland, claimed two industrial endeavors; Efland Milling Company produced flour and animal feed and an excelsior plant.
