Georgia Marble Company : ウィキペディア英語版 | Georgia Marble Company The Georgia Marble Company was founded in 1884 by Samuel Tate. Tate leased out all the land in Pickens County, Georgia, that contained rich Georgia marble. Pickens County has a vein of marble long, a half mile wide, and up to deep. ==Company history==
In the 1830s Henry Fitzsimmons established the first marble quarry in Pickens County, which was part of the Murphy Marble Belt.〔 The land had been used by Native Americans for the same purpose since as early as 800 AD. In 1884, Samuel Tate founded the Georgia Marble Company, and leased out the land for others to use. In 1905 Colonel Sam Tate partnered with Earl Mayes Caldwell and the two became co-presidents and general managers of the company. The business grew rapidly, until concrete began to replace marble in buildings.〔 In 1969, with business falling, the company was purchased by Jim Walter Corporation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Introduction to Historic Georgia Marble Movies )〕 Over the next few decades it changed hands several times, passing through ownership by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Company, Hillsborough Holding Corporation, First Chicago Corporation and IMERYS.〔 Finally, in 2003, the dimension stone division of Georgia Marble Company was acquired by Polycor.
