Abstract:

Between 1777-1896 ten paper mills operated in six counties manufacturing paper for Northern markets. Before the Civil War, production of paper brought about $145, 000 annually and represented a modernizing industry with the introduction of machinery from Europe. These mills were located in Cleveland, Cumberland, Forsyth, Lincoln, Orange, and Wake Counties.
