| Administrative History | Alexander Hadden and Sons was a textile manufacturing business, operating factories at the Green, Gordon's Mills at Woodside and Garlogie Mills at Skene.
The business was founded by Alexander Hadden (1721-1793) in c. 1747 [in its first iteration]. Alexander Hadden was also a City Baillie. His eldest son James Hadden (1758-1845) and fourth son Gavin Hadden (1770 - 1857) were part of the business, as well as his grandson James Farquhar Hadden (1809 -1879) (youngest son of Gavin Hadden). In 1849, Gavin Hadden was removed as a partner and Thomas Todd was introduced.
During the late 1890s and early 1900s, there were many developments in the area surrounding the Green site, particularly related to the railway station.
Business at the Green closed in 1901 and the firm was dissolved in 1902, with the company ceasing operations at Gordon's and Garlogie Mills in 1904.
