The Brown Company was a pulp and papermaking company based in Berlin, New Hampshire. They closed their doors after World War II.
History
The company began as a large sawmill at the head of Berlin Falls in 1852 as the H. Winslow Company, then later changed its name to the Berlin Mills Company. William Wentworth Brown of Portland, Maine, and Lewis T. Brown bought a controlling interest in the Berlin Mills Company. William Wentworth Brown later purchased the stock owned by Lewis T. Brown in the 1880s, acquiring complete control of the company, which changed its name again in 1917 during World War I to the Brown Company. The Brown family owned land that spanned from Canada to Florida, which they used for logging. In the 1940s the Brown Company went through bankruptcy, which led to the closing of the company. The paper mills stayed in Berlin under various companies until closing in 2006. The other plant in Gorham is now operated by another owner.
