The first textile mills were built in New England. The first yarn spinning mill was in Pawtucket, Rhode Island in the late 1700's. The first true textile mill was built in Boston around 1830. Soon many other mills dotted New England. There are still a few mills operating in the original old buildings in Fall River, MA, but overall the mills are few and far between.
New England had some fast running streams that could power the mills. It had Francis Cabot Lowell that went to England to see how mills ran there. It also had young women that needed a job to run the mills.
