History of Bath Mill in Horse Creek Valley
Bath Mill in the Horse Creek Valley traces its origins to 1760 when Myers built a grist mill. It evolved with a saw mill, a large 1850 paper mill, and the first South Carolina pulp mill in 1876. The present cotton mill emerged after 1895, later owned by United Merchants and Manufacturers Inc. in 1929, now housing 59 Sulzer and 163 Saurer looms and producing 350000 to 450000 yards weekly.
