EspañolGREAT SOUTHERN LUMBER COMPANY
In 1906, the Great Southern Lumber Company was founded in Bogalusa, Washington Parish, Louisiana by Frank Henry Goodyear and Charles Waterhouse Goodyear, and others investors mostly from Buffalo, New York area.
Colonel William Henry Sullivan, the "Father of Bogalusa," was the sawmill manager and the town manager. Colonel Sullivan's goal was to create a city that lasted, so reforestation was introduced into the area.
