mar 26, 1159 - Earliest Paper Mill in Europe
Description:
The paper mill in Xativia can be dated to 1159, but some scholars suggest it was built as early as 1009. Before paper mills appeared in Europe, they spread across Asia, though I couldn't find solid dates for this. Xativia is not necessarily the first paper mill, but the earliest paper mill in Europe that we know of (Fuller, 2002).Added to timeline:
