The company traces its history back to 1850 when Thomas Douglas Stimson started logging in Michigan.[2] After moving west to the Pacific Northwest in the 1880s, the family purchased timberlands across the region and established mills and other businesses in the Puget Sound area.[2] On May 9, 1931, G. W. Stimson of the lumber family of Washington, attorney Thomas H. Tongue, Jr. (son of Congressman Thomas H. Tongue), and Harold A. Miller incorporated the business in Hillsboro, Oregon.[1] Miller was the son-in-law of Stimson, and a founder of the Western Forestry Center in Portland, as well as onetime owner of the Schooner Te Vega.[3] Miller had been asked by Charles S. Stimson to move to Oregon to head family's business in Oregon.[3] Two years later the company opened a new mill in Forest Grove, which remains in operation.[2]
Stimson bought Northwest Petrochemical Company in 1962 in order to use phenol in made in manufacturing hardboard.[2] In 1976, the company bought a plywood plant in Merlin, Oregon.[2] Longtime leader Miller died in 1981, with Darrell Schroeder becoming the new company exceutive.[2]
The company operates a total of seven mills combined between Idaho and Oregon.[9] Stimson owns 552,000 acres (223,000 hectares) of timberland across three states: Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. This makes the company the twentieth largest landowner in the United States.[9]
