New Riverside Ochre Co

Story Time!

Back in the 1800s George Satterfield began buying up land realizing the boom in the mining industry. He then created a business called Riverside Ochre, this company unfortunately burnt down however, his son William wanted to continue the companies legacy. William created a new company, which he dubbed New Riverside Ochre. Evelyn Satterfield (Williams daughter) went out to Oklahoma where she met James R. Dellinger. Three short weeks later they were heading on a train back to Cartersville to get married. James R Dellinger continued the success that William had started and had reached higher goals than ever thought possible in the beginning. New Riverside was then passed on to James Dellinger Jr. who continued the companies legacy and turned it into what it is today! The reason for the longevity of success is credited to how the family has kept private control this long. Today, the fifth generation of miners in this family are working in the plant, continuing the families legacy for years to come.

Ever wondered what a open pit mine looked like?

Most people when they think of mines they picture people underground digging. Here at New Riverside we use a method called open pit mining.
