===Reconstruction and the rise of Durham tobacco=== [[File:First Duke tobacco factory and surrounding buildings 1883.jpg|thumb|left|Early view of first [[Washington Duke|Duke]] tobacco factory and family home, Durham, 1883]] The community of Durham Station grew slowly before the Civil War, but expanded rapidly following the war. Much of this growth attributed to the establishment of a thriving [[tobacco]] industry. Veterans returned home after the war with an interest in acquiring more of the tobacco they had sampled in North Carolina. Numerous orders were mailed to John Ruffin Green's tobacco company requesting more of the Durham tobacco. W.T. Blackwell partnered with Green and renamed the company as the "[[Bull Durham Tobacco Factory]]".<ref name=":0"/> The name "Bull Durham" is said to have been taken from the bull on the British [[Colman's]] Mustard, which Mr. Blackwell mistakenly believed was manufactured in [[Durham, England|Durham]], England.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Richardson |first=Lynn |title=The Bull City: Overview of Durham History |url=https://www.museumofdurhamhistory.org/learn/overview-of-durham-history/ |access-date=2020-07-30 |publisher=Museum of Durham History |language=en-US}}</ref> Mustard known as Durham Mustard was originally produced in [[Durham, England|Durham]], England, by Mrs Clements and later by Ainsley during the eighteenth century. However, production of the original Durham Mustard has now been passed into the hands of [[Colman's]] of [[Norwich]], England.
