Beverly Cotton Manufactory was the first cotton mill built in America, and the largest cotton mill to be built during its era.[1][2][3][4] It was built hoping for economic success, but reached a downturn due to technical limitations of the then early production process and limitations of the machines being used. Being the birthplace and testing grounds of the cotton milling industry at the time, it has been called the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution.
