The first cotton mill established in Randolph County was built here in 1836 by Benjamin Elliott, Phillip Horney, Alfred H. Marsh and Henry B. Elliott. This is a historic place, surrounded by many hal- lowed associations of the olden time. In 1775 the lauds on both sides of Deep river, including the spot where this vil- lage now stands, and then called Cedar Falls, were granted to Herman Husbands by the Earl of Granville. Benjamin Elliott subsequently acquired possession of the property and operated a grist and flouring mill there for a number of years before the factory was built. The factory is now owned and conducted by Dr. J. M. Worth, O. R. Cox, George H. Make- peace, Rev. W. M. Curtis and others, under whose skill Cedar Falls has become the queen of the river, and the cedar thicket is now a village of thrift and beauty. O. R. Cox, secretary and treasurer, is the manager.
