History
[porto_history year=”1950″ image=”1054″]Following World War II, Navy veteran Lt. J.G. Turner Murphy lived in North Augusta, SC, with his wife Tillie, and their three children: Mary, Pat and Mike. It is here where Turner Murphy Company was founded in 1950. They broke ground with just $127.42 and a Civil Engineering degree from Auburn University. Embarking in construction of all sorts, Turner prospered, working with the industries developing around the regions’ access to raw materials. New mills began to cover the landscape. Turner did not stop there. He built schools, military, industrial, and commercial buildings.
