Andrew and Robert Alexander built the mill on the Ohio and Erie Canal in 1855 to grind flour for local farmers. At the time, the Cleveland area was a major wheat-producing region, in part because the canal let farmers ship flour across the Great Lakes. In 1900, Thomas and Emma Wilson bought the mill and expanded it to serve larger businesses. They also began grinding animal feed instead of flour at the mill in order to serve the growing feed market. The mill was the last operating mill in the Cuyahoga Valley and ran on water power through 1970.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Miller |first1=Carol Poh |title=Ohio Historic Inventory: Wilson Feed Mill |url=https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71984682 |website=National Archives Catalog |publisher=National Archives and Records Administration |access-date=July 31, 2022 |date=March 1976}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Wilson Feed Mill |url=https://www.nps.gov/cuva/learn/historyculture/wilson-feed-mill.htm |website=Cuyahoga Valley National Park |publisher=National Park Service |access-date=July 31, 2022}}</ref>
