The US lumber industry began in the early colonial period during the 1600s when European settlers started to exploit the abundant forests for building materials and fuel. The industry grew significantly with the expansion westward in the 19th century, driven by the demand for timber in growing cities and the development of railroads. Innovations in logging techniques and the introduction of mechanized sawmills further transformed the industry, making lumber a key economic resource in the United States.
