In the 1800s, Paterson, New Jersey, transformed the local economy by becoming a hub for industrialization, particularly through the establishment of textile mills and water-powered factories, which attracted a large workforce. Additionally, the city’s innovative use of the Great Falls of the Passaic River for hydroelectric power enabled the growth of manufacturing, leading to increased urbanization as people moved to Paterson for job opportunities and improved living conditions.
