According to an article written by George Stevenson, former archivist at the NC Division of Archives and History, North Carolina’s first paper mill was built in late “1777 on New Hope Creek about five miles south of Hillsborough under the direction of John Hulgan, a papermaker from Pennsylvania, in response to a 1775 offer of a £250 bounty by the North Carolina Provincial Congress.” Nice work!
