James Whatman, a former leather tanner, began papermaking at the Turkey Mill in Maidstone (Kent, England) in 1740. He innovated wove textured papers in 1755, at the request of the printer James Baskerville (who wanted a finer surface to show off his newly designed serif font). In 1759 Whatman died and the mill operations were taken over by his son, James Whatman II (1742-1798), in 1763. In 1765 Whatman began using laundry blue to whiten naturally yellowed sheets of recycled pulp, and rapidly built the mill to become one of the largest suppliers of book, watercolor and engraving papers in Europe. In 1790 Whatman suffered a stroke and operations were handled by his assistant William Balston, who (to obtain investment capital) entered into partnership with two local businessmen in 1794. This partnership dissolved in 1805, resulting in two independent Whatman suppliers: William Balston built the Springfield Mill, the first in the world to power the new Fourdrinier machines entirely by steam; the partners retained the Turkey Mill and continued making watercolor papers by hand until 1859, when Balston and sons purchased all rights to the Whatman name. Whatman handmade papers were very popular with English and European watercolor painters from J.M.W. Turner through the early 20th century. Production of handmade watercolor papers ceased in 1955, and of mouldmade papers in 1962, but the mouldmade papers were reintroduced in 1983 after the company was restructured as the Whatman Reeve Angel group in 1974, then as Whatman plc. in 1990.

Whatman stopped the production of their watercolor papers in Summer, 2002.
