The mill girls primarily worked in factories during the 19th century, particularly from the 1820s to the 1850s. These young women, often from rural areas, were employed in textile mills, especially in New England, as part of the Industrial Revolution. Their labor was crucial to the growth of the American textile industry during this period.
The number of factories built daily varies significantly based on factors such as economic conditions, geographic location, and industry demand. Globally, it is estimated that hundreds of factories may be constructed each day, but this number fluctuates. In developing regions, industrialization can lead to a higher number of new factories, while in more developed areas, growth may focus on upgrading or repurposing existing facilities. Specific statistics can change year by year and should be sourced from industry reports for accuracy.
Samuel Slater brought the factory system to America in 1789.
Factories began to emerge during the Industrial Revolution, which started in the late 18th century, around the 1760s. The first factories were established in Britain, primarily for textile production. Over the following decades, the factory system spread to other countries and industries, leading to significant changes in manufacturing processes and labor dynamics.

In 1821, the Boston Associates purchased land and rights to the Pawtucket Canal located north of the city of Boston, Massachusetts. The Associates built several textile mills and enlarged the Canal for water power. The first mills opened in 1823, and for the next 25 years more mills and a network of power canals were built. By 1848, Lowell was the largest industrial center in America! The mills produced 50,000 miles of cotton cloth each year. The Associates needed a large work force for the busy mills. They decided to run their mills using a work force of young women recruited from New England farms. Lowell was known around the world for this innovative solution. Lowell "Mill Girls" were asked to work in the factories for a few years, then return to the farms or marry. Mill girls filled the city of Lowell, living in boardinghouses managed by the corporations. Mill life meant a hard day's work in which girls followed a strict schedule marked by the ringing of bells. Mill girls were expected to follow the company rules for curfew, church attendance and proper behavior.
