Historical Marker |
This sawmill operated at this site from 1867 until 1906, employing more than twenty local citizens and producing 30,000 board feet of lumber per day at its peak. The sawmill was well situated with easy access to the river, railroad, plentiful forests, and a nearby creosote plant. In 1906 after a hurricane severely damaged the plant and devastated the area's timber supply. Gautier closed the sawmill. Due to the contribution of the mill this area was named for Fernando Gautier in the 1890s.
