Chadbourns

Chadbourns refers to a variety of entities, most notably a prominent family and a former industrial company with roots in New Zealand.

The Chadbourn family, particularly the Chadbourn family of North Carolina, gained prominence through business and political involvement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Members of this family were involved in various enterprises, including lumber and textiles, and some held public office. Their influence was significant in the economic and social development of their region.

In a different context, Chadbourns Limited was a New Zealand-based company with a long history in the timber and processing industry. Established in the early 20th century, the company was known for its sawmilling operations and the production of wood products. Over time, Chadbourns Limited evolved and eventually became part of larger corporate structures, reflecting changes within the New Zealand forestry sector. The name Chadbourns is thus associated with a legacy of industrial activity and entrepreneurial endeavor in both the United States and New Zealand.
