[edit] Early History

The Ross family had been in Smallville since 1870, and felt a strong personal connection to the town and its history. Bill and Dale were owners of Ross Creamed Corn Factory and felt like the kings of creamed corn. These men were persuaded, by Jonathan Kent, to transfer ownership of the factory and its surrounding cornfields from the Ross family to LuthorCorp. When Lionel Luthor broke his promise to the Rosses and turned the creamed corn factory into a fertilizer plant, the family felt powerless and betrayed, and wanted little to do with the Luthors from that point on.
