Champion Paper
The Champion Coated Paper Mill is one of the most storied companies that ever called the city home. While Champion’s founder Peter G. Thomson is known for his paper making, he was also a significant developer in the city. He purchased the Thomas Rhea Farm and filed a subdivision plat, naming it Prospect Hill. The Thomson family later donated the land that is now Twin Run Golf Course.
