About Franklin, Virginia
Franklin is an independent city of 8,180 people in southeastern Virginia, on the Blackwater River. It started in the 1830s as a stop on the railroad, and in those years boats carried goods down the river to and from Albemarle Sound in North Carolina. Growth stayed slow until 1887, when six Camp brothers, whose family had local roots, bought a small sawmill that had already run beside the river for several years.
With Paul Douglas Camp as president, James Leonidas Camp as vice-president and Robert Judson Camp as secretary-treasurer, the mill grew quickly for 20 years. The company came close to bankruptcy, but World War I made it profitable again, and the town prospered along with it. By 1955 the Camp Corporation sold $28 million a year. On May 29, 1956, it merged with Union Bag and Paper of New York to form Union Camp, and in 1961 Franklin separated from Southampton County to become an independent city.
- Gunfire on the Blackwater, 1862In 1862 the USS Commodore Perry headed a group of U.S. Navy steamships that tried to get past Franklin on the Blackwater, and local Confederates fired on them from the banks. Five men were killed and sixteen wounded. As the ships pulled back, the Confederates cut down large trees to block the narrow river, but the Navy lost no ships and no men were taken prisoner. Seven sailors later received the Medal of Honor.
- A school founded in 1904Della Irving Hayden founded the Franklin Normal and Industrial Institute in 1904. Her school gave African American students training in academics, farming and industrial trades.
- Floyd's flood in 1999After Hurricane Floyd in 1999, the Blackwater rose to a record crest of 26.4 feet and left downtown Franklin under as much as 12 feet of water, flooding 182 businesses and 150 homes. When the name Floyd was retired in 2000, Franklin took its place on the list of hurricane names.
- The mill after Union CampUnion Camp ran the Franklin mill until International Paper bought the company in 1999. International Paper shut the paper mill in May 2010, ending about 1,100 jobs, then restarted part of it to make fluff pulp, which brought 213 new jobs. The family is still remembered by name at the James L. Camp Jr. YMCA, at Paul D. Camp Community College, at the Ruth Camp Campbell Memorial Library and at the Texie Camp Marks Children's Center.
