History Overview

How it Began

The Scarborough's business was originally started in 1957 by Gene Scarborough, a WWII POW veteran who left his home state of Mississippi with his family in search of a new start in California. He eventually settled down with his wife Nena and his three children, Alvin, Linda and Mike, in Scotts Valley where he bought and ran Standard Lumber.

Four Generations

HOW IT'S GOING

Scarborough Lumber has become a Hardware and Home Supply staple in the SLV and Scotts Valley communities. While the company has expanded greatly in the past ten years, the small business continues to thrive under the family name. There are eight family members which span across four generations that continue to uphold the expectations of a small family business set by Gene Scarborough .
