Most textile mills in the United States were built in the Northeast, particularly in New England, during the early 19th century. This location was chosen due to the region's abundant water power from rivers, access to raw materials like cotton, and proximity to ports for exporting finished goods. Additionally, the Northeast had a labor force ready to transition from agriculture to industrial work, contributing to the area's suitability for textile manufacturing.
