The board elects Hugh Brown as president and general manager of the company. Four years later, Bill Newton, the great-great grandson of Henry Mitchell, resigns and takes with him the 150-year legacy of the Mitchell family. Hugh eventually moves the company out of Portland and into its current location in Wilsonville, Oregon. With the move to Wilsonville, Hugh’s son, David Brown, steps into the decision-making process, succeeding his father at the helm.
