jan 1, 1823 - Lowell mill town created
Description:
Lowell Mill factory utilized exclusively women for labor because they took less wages than men. The mill offered housing and meals right next to the factory, creating a town centered around production. This is a change in the way industry worked as it was the first factory to only offer women chances to work and work outside of male operated farms.
