Chatham
Mills was erected in Pittsboro in 1924 as a new
division
of the Artistic Weaving Company of Pompton Lakes,
New Jersey, founded by A.C. Kluge of New York.
Mr. Kluge chose Pittsboro for the mill site after
he visited the area several times for quail and
rabbit hunting. The site is known as "Factory
Hill" since it was once the site of a tobacco
and later a harness factory. The Chatham Mills
opened in 1925 and was responsible for producing
silk and cotton woven labels produced on a jacquard
loom. It was once described as the world's largest
woven-label mill. In 1965 the Pittsboro Throwing
Corporation, which processed yarns used in label
weaving, was added to the operation.
The mill
closed in 1966. The Chatham Mills Development
Corporation is currently renovating the structure
for adaptive use.
