In the mid-1870’s a man named Agustus Belton Groce owned a general store which was the center of Lyman at that time. In the year 1923, the Groce family sold more than 700 acres to Pacific mills and by the following year they built the Lyman Printing and Finishing Mille.
Pacific Mills built 375 homes for its employees in 1927. In honor of the former president of the mill, the town was renamed Arthur T. Lyman. Lyman is known as a textile town but in 2005 the last mill had already closed.
