Gator Timber & Land began as Springside Lumber Company in 1945. Kelley Smith, Sr. ( deceased ) started the company as a lumber mill located just west of Palatka on Highway 100 in the small community of Springside. The mill was sold to General Pole and Crossarm Company in 1957 and the new business, Springside Timber Company, began that same year as a Timber dealership, working primarily on Union Camp Corporation lands. Kelley Sr.'s son Kelley Smith, Jr., purchased the company in 1972. In 1975, Gator Logging Supply Company was started and provided supplies to the logging crews of the area. In 1978, Union Camp Corporation purchased Springside Timber Company and Gator Logging Supply Company from Kelley Smith. Kelley was the manager of this subsidiary of Union Camp for 17 years until 1995 when he purchased the company back from Union Camp. At that time the company purchased timber and land in the Northeast Florida area and was renamed Gator Logging Company, L.C In 2003 the name was changed to Gator Timber & Land, L.L.C in order to more accurately reflect the nature of our business. Kelley and Mary Smith and Stan Browning own and operate Gator Timber & Land. Kelley has owned or managed this business since 1972. Kelley presently serves as a Managing Member of Gator Timber and Land, LLC. Kelley has also served in various community service positions over the years.
