In the early 1800s, textile mills in New England were primarily powered by water. They were typically located near rivers and streams, where waterwheels could harness the flow of water to drive the machinery. This water power was crucial for operating the looms and other equipment essential for textile production during the Industrial Revolution. As technology progressed, steam power began to supplement water power in the later part of the century.
