The first cotton mills were established in the 1740s, in the East Midlands Region of England, in order to house the roller spinning machinery invented by Lewis Paul and John Wyatt. These machines were the first to spin cotton mechanically "without the intervention of human fingers". This enabled them to be driven by a non-human power source, which in turn allowed the use of much larger machinery and made it possible to concentrate production into organised factories.
In 1814, the world's first factory to convert raw cotton into cloth by power machinery within one building was built in Waltham, Massachusetts by the Boston Manufacturing Company. The company was founded by Abbot Lawrence.
Cotton mills, corn mills, etc. where built along streams and rivers to use water power to run the machinery. When steam-engines took over, the factories and mills could be built anywhere.
The US textile industry was built around the growing of cotton. Some large cotton farms were known as plantations.
The first factory in the United States was built in 1790 by a man named Samuel Slater. The factory produced spindles of yarn. The first factory in the world was the Venetian Arsenal in Venice, Italy. The factory built ships and had 16,000 employees. Construction on the Venetian Arsenal began in the year 1104.
People say the First Factory in America was a Hershey Factory or the Wool Mill in England...but the First true factory was the First Furniture Factory founded and built in 1825 by William and John Breed.This was the First True Factory that was built in America.XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
The first Factory in the United States was built by A GROUP OF MERCHANTS!
The first factory in America was built in 1790, by Samuel Slater, a cotton spinner's apprentice who left England the year before with the secrets of textile machinery, he built the factory from memory to produce spindles of yarn.

The Waltham Massachusetts cotton mill was built near the waterfalls of the Merrimack River. With this as its power, all the machinery ran on the power created from the falls.

The Cadbury Chocolate Factory in Claremont, Tasmania, was built in 1922.
The first American cotton mill was built in 1787 in Beverly Massachusetts. George Washington paid a visit to the mill. The mill failed after 3 years of operation. Generally speaking, the failure was due to inadequate machinery and also because Americans preferred imported English cotton products.
In a factory
Richard Arkwright had a couple inventions. His first invention was built with a partner, John Kay. The team built the very first water wheel. Eventually, they built a system that could spin four strings of cotton at once, instead of just one. Richard paid for a patent for the cotton spinner in 1769. Even further down the road, Kay and Arkwright built a system that could spin 96 strands of cotton at once! (Since this machine was so powerful, horses had become the employees.) Richard hooked up the water wheel and the cotton system to make a water-powered, famous, factory system.
it was god who built the world,sea,animals and human and then mankind built machinery to make our lives more convenient
