In 1880, Davis Clock Company was formed by N. L. Davis on "Factory Hill" west of present Troter Civic Center. The company manufactured clock cases. Movements were purchased from various Connecticut manufacturers.
In 1887, N. L. Davis contracted with William L. Gilbert to be supplied with 8000 OG #2 movements with weights.
The Columbus Index newspaper reported that a collector for the firm was robbed November 13, 1891 at Greenwood, MS.
The firm ceased operations in 1906. The firm also reportedly made fire arms and had a branch in Texarkana.
