The Efland Knitting Company was established in 1940 by John Efland, Jr. and Wilson Efland, in the former Efland Hosiery Mill building.

The current structure was built circa 1945, it produced seamless and "full fashioned" hosiery.

In 1964, the Efland brothers opened the Efland Tractor & Equipment Company in the front section of the building.

The building is still owned by the Efland family, but now houses Efland Farm & Garden.
