The mill went into production in 1874. As the mill developed the village grew around it, with new housing and roads to attract and accommodate workers. Before the First World War the labour force reached over 400, reaching a peak of 620 in the late 1950s.



The paper mill was previously the main local industry and was operated by Curtis Fine Papers. On July 24, 2008, the mill went into receivership and 180 workers were made redundant.

This mill had a director whith the name of Haig but was never called William Haig and Sons Paper Company.

First Paper Mill was the White Pine Company.

The ownership facts are incorrect.
