Gordias H.P. Gould was the founder of the Gould Paper Company. After previously owning a saw and pulp mill a mile up the Moose river in partnership with the daughters of Lyman Lyon, he purchased property at the junction of Black and Moose Rivers at Lyons Falls and built a peper mill there which opened in 1895. In 1902 Mr Gould built a home of Gouverneur marble across from the mill. His son Harry P. took over operation of the Company following his fathers death in 1919. Gordon HP Gould became president of the company in 1938. The Mill soon became the largest employer in the area. In 1945 Continental Can purchased the mill and produced specialty paper and newsprint. In 1956 the Lyons Falls Paper Corporation took over operations. They put in a hardwood pulping plant. They were the first paper maker in the country to use this type of process. Later, in 1962 the Mill was purchased by Puget Sound Pulp and Paper company which was purchased a year later by Georgia-Pacific. In 1985 Georgia-Pacific sold the mill to the Lyons Falls Pulp and Paper Company. The mill was shut down for good in 2000.
