| Historicial Development: | According to Gregg County records, Longview Manufacturing Company, consisting of H. M. Miller, T. R. Fridelle, and Northcutt Young & Co (W. G. Northcutt, T. S. S. Young, F. L. Whaley), was building wagons at Longview in 1878. Equipment consisted of steam machinery, a band saw, a spoke lathe, a planing mill, other saws and lathes, and a corn mill.
This may have been the genesis of the Longview Lumber Company milling 70,000 feet daily at Longview in 1893.
