Container Corporation of America’s Fernandina mill dedicated 79 years ago

January 14, 2017 1:33 p.m.

Editor’s Note: The construction of Fernandina’s mill, alongside Rayonier’s construction, brought workers and engineers from near and far. Fernandina lacked enough housing to support the needs. Articles appeared in many newspapers across Florida and Georgia alerting people not to come to Fernandina. Container Corporation of America is now the current WestRock facility on North 8th Street.
