King Creek Lumber Company
King Creek Lumber Company was a subsidiary operation of the Texas Long Leaf Lumber Company, headquartered at Willard, Polk County, and Trinity, Trinity County. The older Thompson Brothers Lumber Company became Texas Long Leaf in 1912, which was later absorbed by Paul Sanderson's Sabine Lumber Company. King Creek Lumber Company operated a mill at Crockett for a number of years on the tracks of the Missouri Pacific. It was there as early as World War I, for King Creek Lumber Company subscribed to the Workman's Compensation Act of 1917. The plant probably closed as result of the economic depression of the 1930s.
