I was looking back at some older posts and came across one for Crane & Co. They have been making the paper for US currency since 1775. The company was established in 1770 by Stephan Crane to sell paper.
That's a very old company. But it is the oldest in the USA? Nope - not even close. That honor goes to Kenyon's Grist Mill, RI established in 1696.
NOTE: I excluded farms, restaurants, taverns and hotels. Had to be a company that manufactured goods for sale.
